Talbart Talbardon was mercenary captain in the Hundred Year War. He was also called Taillevardon and was one of several "men-at-arms plundering the whole country ... " according to a letter from that year.

In 1363 he was a squire of Philip the Bold, the king's lieutenant. When the Treaty of Brétigny was signed on 8 May 1360 he was left without employment, and joined the roaming bands of displaced mercenaries who began to plunder the French country side.
