Captain Peloquin was a 16th century French soldier and fencing master. He is described as "one of the four leading fencing masters of France", and his treatise notes that he trained King Henri IV of France in fencing. This likely occurred in the 1570s, giving us an approximate time frame for Peloquin's career.

The original version of Peloquin's treatise is currently lost, but Matt Galas estimates that it was written in the 1580s or 1590s based on internal evidence.[citation needed] The only extant copy was made by J. de La Haye, a friend of Peloquin's, between 1600 and 1609. His treatise is distinctive for its abstract diagrams consisting of floating weapons and feet with lines connecting them to disembodied hearts and faces.
