Early Origins of the Brouillet family

The surname Brouillet was first found in Bourbonnais, a historic province in the centre of France, now part of the modern department of Allier and Cher.

Prominent from the oldest branch of this line was Jean Brouillot, the judge of Joan of Arc. Originally from the diocese of Bayeux, chief of arts and with a law licence, he was prosecutor of the University of Paris in 1403. In the judgement of Joan of Arc he refused to compromise, saying that the opinions of the chief theologians must be followed.

Brouillards or "Mists" or "Fog" is the first prelude of Claude Debussy's second set of preludes and Lucien Brouillard is a 1983 French Canadian political drama film directed by Bruno Carrière. Mont Brouillard (4,069 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the Val d'Aosta, Italy.
