It does exist and means 'craven' or 'cowardly'. Not sure if it's the same word though.[/QUOTE]Yes, it is definitely the same word. "Poltron" in French means "coward". It is an old word, not much used nowadays.
Why did I bother learning English ? I could have managed with old French : "Vous êtes un poltron, Messire". !
