Girolamo Cavalcabo (Hieronyme Calvacabo, Hieronimo Cavalcabo) was a 16th century Italian fencing master. He was a citizen of Bologna and may have trained fencing under Angelo Viggiani dal Montone;[1] he seems to have traveled to London in the 1580s or 1590s and set up a school.[citation needed] During this period he also wrote a treatise on the use of the rapier entitled Nobilissimo discorso intorno il schermo ("Most Noble Discourse on Defense"), though it would not be published until 1597. In the early 17th century, he received a position in the court of Henry IV of France as fencing instructor to his son Louis (the future Louis XIII).[citation needed]
