DORLEANS, See also:LOUIS (1542–1629) , See also:French poet and See also:political pamphleteer, was See also:born in 1542, in See also:Paris. He studied under See also:Jean See also:Daurat, and after taking his degree in See also:law began to practise at the See also:bar with but slight success. Re wrote indifferent verses, but was a redoubtable pamphleteer. After the See also:League had arrested the royalist members of See also:parliament, he was appointed (158g) See also:advocate-See also:general. His "Avertissement See also:des catholiques anglais aux See also:Francais catholiques du danger oic ils sont de perdre la See also:religion et d'experimenter, comme en Angleterre, la cruaute des ministres s'ils regoivent d la couronne un roi qui See also:soil heretique " went through several See also:editions, and was translated into See also:English. One of his See also:pamphlets, Le Banquet ou apres-dine du See also:comte d'See also:Arete, in which he accused See also:Henry of insincerity in his return to the See also:Roman See also:Catholic faith, was so scurrilous as to be disapproved of by many members of the League. When Henry at length entered Paris, Dorleans was among the number of the proscribed. He took See also:refuge in See also:Antwerp, where he remained for nine years. At the expiration of that See also:period he received a See also:pardon, and returned to Paris, but was soon imprisoned for See also:sedition. The See also:king, however, released him after three months in the Conciergerie, and by this means attached him permanently to his cause. His last years were passed in obscurity, and he died in 1629.
