Identified as father of Petrus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet; also of Claudius Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet. By inference, also father of Nicod and Jacob, identified as brothers of Claude, though some references to apparently the same family seem to show Bovat instead. He may be the same Jaquetus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet affiliated with the paupers' hospital of Payerne in the 1450's. A bit earlier, 1440's, there are mentions of Johannes Desybor alias Bovet of St. Aubin en Vuilliez, probably a different family. We think that a number of citations of "Bonet" in the early records of Payerne pertain to this family, and if that is the case, a Jaques Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet appears as a witness 04 aug 1459 (AEF Payerne 29). See the notes for Nicodus Bonnet (or Bovet?) for a discussion of the ambiguity of the family name, caused by the ambituity of the script of the time.
For records in the vicinity of Cugy, where one of the curati for the local church was a Jaquetus Bovet or Bonet, we suspect that this is a different family, and we accept as pertaining to our Bonnet family only those who are explicitly stated to reside or have citizenship in Payerne.

The most difficult problem relating to this family is the name. In the script of the time, the letters u, v, and n were generally indistinguishable. While this was not as great a problem as might be imagined for ordinary text, where the context of the Latin legal vocabulary generally gives enough clues to follow the meaning, the consequences for understanding family names are sometimes serious. In this case, the name generally looks like Bouet, sometimes with a long stroke over at least part of the word: Bo̅u̅et. At least some historians who were aware of the significance of the family have published this name as Bovet. Others, apparently unaware of the connection with the famous advoyer Peter Falck of Fribourg, have rendered it as Bonet or Bonnet. At first, we assumed it was probably Bovet, because similar names are indigenous and widespread in Vaud and Fribourg (Bovet, Bovey, etc.), but there seems to be no trace of Bonet in modern times, and few Bonnet, mostly from France or adjacent areas. The spelling Bouet is considered very unlikely for this area, but entirely plausible in France. Unfortunately, the family in question apparently became extinct by the middle of the 16th Century, so modern citizenship records cannot resolve the problem. Also, if the name were Bonnet, we would have expected to find it more often written as Bo̅n̅et in the Latin script (the stroke over the word telling us that the third letter ought to be an n), or else at least occasionally written as Bouuet (the doubled letter again suggesting an n). On the other hand, if the name were really Bovet, we would have expected to find at least occasionally a form that is clearly Bovet in the old script, using the distinct form of the letter v. After some years of study, we failed to find even one example of the latter. Finally, two observations have changed our opinionin favor of Bonnet: (1) the registers of the notary Petrus de Trevaul (ACV Dp 108) always show this name as Bo̅u̅et, which is almost certainly to be interpreted as Bonnet; and (2) the same notary mentions a toponym or "lieu-dit" in the commune of Payerne called Wa Bonnet (written as Bo̅u̅et), a fact that suggests the origin of the place name as well as the family name from bonna, a land use term implying fertile ground.
Nicodus is mentioned as the late father of Jaquetus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet, bourgeois of Payerne, in document of Jacobus (?) Bellin, notary (ACV DP 8). The document appears to be from about 1457-1458, and is too faded to be read in its entirety. It pertains to the resolution of a dispute of some kind between Jaquetus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet and Jacobus Mellet, apparently relating to a contract or debt between their respective fathers. This may be the Nicodus Bonnet, Bonet, or Bovet who sold property 01 jun 1416 (communal archives of Payerne) and who held the office of recteur de la ville de Payerne in 1408 (Pierre de Treyvaux, notary at Payerne, ACV DP 108/1 fol. 63).
It is not out of the question that this Nicodus is the same one cited in 1385 as the son of Rolet dit Bonnet, Bonet, or Bovet of Payerne. There are also references in the early 15th Century to a family at St. Aubin (Vully) called DeSiborg dit Bovet or Bonet, as well as citations involving a Bovet or Bonet family that owned property at Cugy, Fétingy, and Auboranges, near Payerne at approximately the same time. Much more research will be needed to establish a coherent genealogy of the family or families.
A reconnaissance in the terrier ACV Fm 3 quater, fol. 16, dated 03 aug 1401, concerns Margareta filia quondam Perrodi Mayor de Cugie uxor Nycodi Bonet burgensis Paterniaco, who "accensavit secundum consuetudines Staviaci Petro et Jaquete liberis sive nutritis Domini Nycodi Mayor presbiteri de Cugie fratris sui." Thus, Margareta Mayor seems to have been the wife of our Nicodus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet. The same volume, consisting of extracts of reconnaissances and other documents in the possession of the Chalon family (relating to their properties, mostly), contains a copy of the testament of Margareta's father Perrodus, die Dominica Bordarum 1399. (Regarding the part of the Mayor family mentioned in this item in Fm 3 quater, Dominus Nycodus Mayor was the curatus of the church of Cugy apparently beginning in 1385. The text shows that he had two illegitimate children, Petrus and Jaqueta, and that he had a sister Margareta who married Nycodus Bonet of Payerne.)
The collection Généalogies des familles fribourgeoises, compiled by Hubert de Vevey, includes some items relating to apparently the same Bonet or Bovet family, notably:
1385: Girard d'Estavayer, chevalier, seigneur de Cugy, du consentement de Katherine de Pilpa (=de Belp, soit de Montagny), sa mère, vend en pur, libre et franc alleu à Nicod fils de Rolet Bovet, bourgeois de Payerne, divers cens et rentes y specifiées, 14.V.1385 (AEF: Fam. d'Estavayer, parch.).
There is also a document at the ACV concerning Nicodus son of Roletus: "C XXII NF02666 C VII b 1050, Cote ancienne: Nouveaux Titres: 3820, Intitulé: 1417 février 10. Nicod, fils de feu Rolet Bonnet, bourgeois de Payerne, reconnaît du consentement de Pierre Mareschet et de son fils François, devoir à Jaques de Montmayeur, prieur de Payerne, 6 sols de cens annuel pour la moitié de 4 seytorées de pré, sises au territoire de Payerne eÿs (ès) sessines au lieu dit en la sessinaz gavar; 6 deniers de cens pour une pièce de terre contenant une pose sise au territoire de Payerne en la condemine du Marché; 6 deniers de cens annuel pour un morceau de terre contenant une bonne pose de terre, sise là auprès; et 18 deniers de cens annuel pour une maison avec son chesal, sise à Payerne en Plagniou (Plagnyouf), affrontant du côté de bise à la rue eÿs (des) Thomas et du côté du vent à la rue de Monpellier." The consent of Pierre Mareschet and his son for this transaction raises the possiblity that the property was in some way subject to the Mareschet family, and in turn, we might wonder if Nicodus was related in some way to the Mareschet.

While we now think the name should be read as Bonnet, it is possible that it was Bovet— due to the ambiguity of the script of the period (see the notes for Nicodus Bonnet or Bovet). The family appears to become extinct by the middle of the 16th Century. Published references show both Bovet and Bonet, without comment about the ambiguity of the script. The dossiers compiled by Hubert de Vevey show this name as Bovet. A later source (ACV Fm 4 bis, see below) shows Bonnet, and some contemporary sources could equally well be read as Bouvet or Bonnet.
Testament recorded (but now fragmentary) in a register attributed to Pierre Ruerat, notary at Payerne (ACV DP 92/1, last page of volume, dated 16 jun 1513; see below, this register is more likely the work of Franciscus Ruerat). By the end of 1513, she seems to have died. After the death of her father about 1479, she appears several times in her own name buying or selling property, etc.
Her testament requests burial in the abbey of Payerne, in a chapel founded by her husband Aymo de Torculari, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, at a place called "en Galiléaz". She divided her estate in equal portions among her children from both marriages, identifying them by name. The question of the burial location proved to be very complicated, but it now seems almost certain that the reference is to the "galilée" or porch of the abbey of Payerne, and most likely its upper level, which, following the tradition of Cluny, would have functioned as a chapel where the memorial masses for the dead were held. This space has been modified many times since the abbey was abandoned as a result of the protestant reformation, so there is probably no trace today of the burials of Perronete and her husband.
The Archives Cantonales Vaudoises has a terrier (ACV Fm 4 bis) dating from 1576, for "Noble Claude Fivaz l'aîné, Daniel Gachet et les hoirs de Jehan-Amey Gachet, à cause de leur censière procédée de feu Pernette Bonnet". This is surely a reference to the present Perronete, grandmother of the persons named, but in this case, the spelling suggests that the notary, two generations after her death, really believed her name was Bonnet rather than Bovet.
The citations mentioned in several old publications, whose sources we had been unable to locate, have now turned up in the internet edition of the Généalogies des familles fribourgeoises of Humbert de Vevey on the http://doc.rero.ch web site. A copy of Perronete's testament is noted in AEF Hospital II, 246 (because of a bequest in this testament in favor of the hospital of Fribourg). And the earliest known mention of Aymon de Torculari, her second husband (1482), as schoolmaster for the French students of Fribourg, is in AEF Reg. Not. 66, fol. 388 (catalogue of the AEF indicates this is a register of the notary Guillaume Gruyères).
The two versions of the testament prove to be quite different. The first, in the register attributed to the notary Pierre Ruerat of Payerne, is in the third person, and has "etc." in several places. It appears to be a rough draft or "minute", to be filled out with the standard legal jargon of the period when a formal copy was made, or else and extract of the final document. The second version, from the charitable hospital of Fribourg, is in the first person, but it includes only a few of the main provisions, though some of the text is not found in the the first version. The details in the second version that are not found in the first were presumably copied from a lost original, but replaced by "etc." in the copy attributed to Pierre Ruerat. There is enough overlap, however, to fill in a few of the words that were nibbled away by mice in the first version. Neither version lists witnesses. The second version is clearly signed "F. Ruerat" (with paraphe). (The register attributed to Petrus Ruerat does not seem to include his name anywhere, and almost every item is followed by a small paraphe consisting of three dots and an N with a line through it. This small paraphe is in fact found in virtually all of the items in the personal register of debts in favor of the notary Nicodus Mehandi (Dp 65) that were signed by Franciscus Ruerat. Together with the signature on the abstract of the testament for the hospital of Fribourg, this evidence strongly suggests that the register Dp 92 is the work of Franciscus Ruerat, and not of Petrus Ruerat, whose existence does not seem to be attested by any other source.)
Assuming Perronete and her husband were actually buried in or adjacent to the "Galilée" or porch of the abbey of Payerne, exactly how would this be done? The most logical burial site would be beneath the stone floor of the narthex, but likely to one side or the other, where a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary might have stood. This raises the interesting possibility of a historic mistake: Is it possible that the remains that Col. de Dompierre excavated in the narthex in 1817 and which he believed to be those of Queen Berthe and subsequently installed in the old chapel of the Gachet family in the parish church, thus destroying any remaining inscriptions in the Gachet chapel, were actually those of Perronete, who would thus have found her way to a more fitting resting place, but under false pretenses? Unfortunately, it is not clear to us how Col. de Dompierre determined the ages of the burials he found. Some of his notes remain, still to be studied in detail, but they do not appear to give any insight into how he reached his conclusions, or even what he observed.

His daughter Perronete is noted as heir of the late Petrus Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet 13 feb 1480, Pierre Moron (père), notary. In that document, highly abbreviated and as yet not well deciphered, there are mentions of the late Nicod Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet, Jacob, Dom. Jacobus, and Pierre Bonet, Bonnet, or Bovet, seemingly other heirs. Pierre himself (if this is not a son) is alive as late as 25 jul 1479. There is also some possibility of confusion with a Bovat family, evidently a different family. Another possible source of confusion is that the spelling Bouet, perhaps intended to be read as Bovet, can also be read as Bonet, since the "n" and the "u" are usually indistinguishable in the script of the time, see the notes for Nicodus Bonnet (or Bovet?).
The theory advanced by Joseph Zimmermann, biographer of Peter Falk, that Perronete was the daughter of Pierre Ramuz of Fribourg, is without foundation, soundly refuted by an enormous number of documents from Payerne. Pierre Ramuz turns out to be the grandfather of the wife of Peter Falk.
In the "copy registers" of the Inventaire Blanc, a collection of documents compiled by the government of Bern in the 18th Century and then transferred to the new Canton of Vaud shortly after the Revolution of 1798, there is a document dated 16 mar 1455 that helps to establish some of the dates in this family (ACV Aa 12/4 no. 562). In this "reconnaissance", Jaquetus (written consistently as Bonet in these copy registers) son of the late Nicodus recognizes various properties at Payerne and Cugy subject to the Abbey of Payerne. Many of these parcels had already been given to his son Petrus, and Petrus appears in the document to acknowledge the obligations incumbent on these properties. Thus, Nicodus was already dead by 1455, and his grandson Petrus had apparently already reached the age of majority, thus born before 1430. Some of the properties came from paternal inheritance, others from maternal inheritance, but the mother of Jaquetus is, unfortunately, not named.
