Triboulet, a notorious jester for Louis XII and Francis I, once slapped the king on the butt, which greatly angered him, but was given a chance to be forgiven if he could think of something more clever. Triboulet said, “I’m so sorry…I mistook you for the Queen.”
When he was sentenced to death for making fun of people, he was allowed to choose how he would die. He chose to die of old age. The king let him go.

Triboulet lived from 1479 to 1536. He was the model for the main character in Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amuse and its opera version, Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto.
