See also:AUBIGNE, See also:THEODORE See also:AGRIPPA D' (1552-1630), See also:French poet and historian, was See also:born at St See also:Maury, near Pons, in See also:Saintonge, on the 8th of See also:February 1552. His name Agrippa (aegre partus) was given him through his See also:mother dying in childbirth. In his childhood he showed a See also:great aptitude for See also:languages; according to his own See also:account he knew Latin, See also:Greek and See also:Hebrew at six years of See also:age; and he had translated the Crito of See also:Plato before he was eleven. His See also:father, a Huguenot who had been one of the conspirators of See also:Amboise, strengthened his See also:Protestant sympathies by showing him, while they were passing through that See also:town on their way to See also:Paris, the heads of the conspirators exposed upon the See also:scaffold, and adjuring him not to spare his own See also:head in See also:- ORDER

order to avenge their See also:death. After a brief See also:residence he was obliged to flee from Paris to avoid persecution, but was captured and threatened with death. Escaping through the intervention of a friend, he went to See also:Montargis. In his fourteenth See also:year he was See also:present at the See also:siege of See also:- ORLEANS

After a furious See also:battle at Casteljaloux, and suffering from See also:fever from his wounds, he wrote his Tragiques (1571). He was in the battle of Coutras (1587), and at the siege of Paris (1590). His career at See also:camp and See also:court, however, was a somewhat chequered one, owing to the roughness of his manner and the keenness of his criticisms, which made him many enemies and severely tried the See also:- KING

king's See also:patience. In his tragedie-See also:ballet See also:Circe (1576) he did not hesitate to indulge in the most outspoken See also:sarcasm against the king and other members of the royal See also:family. Though he more than once found it expedient to retire into private See also:life he never entirely lost the favour of Henry, who made him See also:governor of Maillezais. After the See also:conversion of the king to See also:Roman Catholicism, d'Aubigne remained true to the Huguenot cause, and a fearless See also:advocate of the Huguenot interests. The first two volumes of the See also:work by which he is best known, his Histoire universelle depuis 155o jusqu'd l'an 1601, appeared in 1616 and 1618 respectively. The third See also:volume was published in 1619, but, being still more See also:free and See also:personal in its See also:satire than those which had preceded it, it was immediately ordered to be burned by the See also:common hangman. The work is a lively See also:chronicle of the incidents of camp and court life, and forms a very valuable source for the See also:history of See also:France during the See also:period it embraces. In See also:September 1620 its author was compelled to take See also:refuge in Geneva, where he found a secure See also:retreat for the last ten years of his life, though the hatred of the French court showed itself in procuring a See also:sentence of death to be recorded against him more than once. He devoted the period of his See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile to study, and the superintendence of See also:works for the fortifications of See also:Bern and See also:Basel which were designed as a material See also:defence of the cause of Protestantism. He died at Geneva on the 29th of See also:April 1630.
A See also:complete edition of his works according to the See also:original See also:MSS.
was begun by E. Reaume and F. de Caussade (1879). It contains all the See also:literary works, the Aventures du See also:baron de Faeneste (1617), and the Mimoires (6 vols., 1873-1892). The best edition of the Histoire universelle is by A. de See also:Ruble. The Memoires were edited by L. Lalanne (1854).
