# Le Bourgeois gentilhomme is staged at Chambord as a court comédie-ballet honouring royal taste

Date: 1670

## The fact

In October 1670 Le Bourgeois gentilhomme was created for the court.

It is one event.

## Context

The same play mocks a climber. Split the inequality-satire as a different sign if scored separately — here the court frame is the cost.

[Molière](/people/moliere)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

Versailles’ court-entertainment history and Britannica independently date the 14 October 1670 Chambord creation.

Official or archival record: Château de Versailles (https://en.chateauversailles.fr/; Établissement public du château de Versailles).

## Significance

A court-created comedy is a prestige-ornament path, not a civic assembly.

1670 is not 1668’s Avare town-stage only.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Molière.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.
