Tabulation of the five steps of the galliard, for which the movements are done as for the tourdion, except that they are made more high and more manly, and in place of the pied en l'air, the dancer does the coups de pied or greves

Tabulature des cinq pas de la galliarde, de laquelle les mouuements font comme au tordiō, fors qu'ils font faicts plus hault & plus virilemēt, et en lieu du pied en l'air, le dāceur dera des coups de pied ou greves

Reconstruction by Peter and Janelle Durham based on the dance as taught in Carolingia. Original text is transcribed from the Fonta edition. Translation by Peter Durham.

Notes

Performance. Note that the kicks in the galliard are Greves and thus should be performed with more vigor than the normal Pied en l'Air kicks.
