Biography

Clutched of Aubigné is high in the religion Calviniste, of which he was an enthusiastic partisan throughout the wars of religion which shook the end of the 16th century. At the ten years age, it is placed in pension with Paris, at Mathieu Béroald, Humaniste celebrates (1562). The following year, his/her father Jean d' Aubigné dies in Orleans, then besieged by the duke of Own way (1563).

Clutched of Aubigné continues its studies with Geneva, where it was sent in 1565, under the direction of Theodore de Bèze. When the second war of religion (1567-1568) burst, it is without hesitating that it engaged in the Protestant army. After a short peace in 1568, the hostilities began again of more beautiful. D' Aubigné takes part in the battles as with the peace talks. It is absent from Paris during the massacres of 1572 but it keeps a tough resentment with monarchy of it. the Tragedies preserve the trace of the visions of horror of which he was the witness.

It is at that time that it binds with the young person king de Navarre, which named it its rider in August 1573. The future Henri IV, after the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, was narrowly supervised at the Court of France. One is unaware of if, like him, of Aubigné has pretends to convert with Catholicism. It in any case formed part of the companions of king de Navarre at the time of his escape, on February 4th, 1576 1. This friendship between the king and the poet lasted several years; Henri IV appointed thus it brigadier in 1586, then governor of Oléron and Maillezais, that Aubigné had conquered by the weapons in 1589; then vice-admiral of Guyenne and Brittany. But the political divergences and nuns end up separating the two men, who did not suspect that their respective grandchildren, Louis XIV and Madam de Maintenon, would marry in 1683.

In 1577, Aubigné is seriously wounded with Casteljaloux. According to the legend which it itself forged well later, it is there, between the life and the death, which the first “clauses would have come to him” from its large poem epic on the wars of religion, the Tragedies . Following this wound, it is withdrawn with the Moors-Guinemer, in Blaisois, between Suèvres and Mer, and marries Suzanne de Lezay in 1583. It has a son of it, Constant, father of Francoise d' Aubigné, the future marchioness of Maintenon, and two girls, Marie de Caumont d' Adde (deceased in 1625), and Louise Arthémise of the Villette. Constant one of greatest disappointments of its life caused him while converting with Catholicism; he disinherited it, at the same time plunging in misery his daughter-in-law and his grandchildren. After the death of his wife in 1596, Aubigné had a natural son with Jacqueline Chayer, Nathan d' Aubigné.

After the assassination of the duke of Own way in 1588, of Aubigné took again share to the political combats and soldiers of its time. He is then the representative of the hard tendency of the protesting party (“Farms”) and sees of an evil eye the concessions made by the chief of his party to reach the throne. Like many Protestants, of Aubigné feels the abjuration of Henri IV, in 1593, like a treason, more especially as it was one of those which had fought to bring Henri to the throne. It is little by little isolated court, of which it definitively withdrew after the assassination of Henri IV in 1610.

In 1611, with the Parliament of the Protestant churches of Saumur, D' Aubigné, elected for Poitou, ridicules the party of “Careful” in the Caduceus or the Angel of peace .

It would seem that it is at this period that he turned to the writing of his works, and in particular of the Tragiques . But it is not for him that another means of taking the weapons, by multiplying the Pamphlet S anti-catholics and the attacks Polémique S against the converted Protestants. Refusing very compromised, of Aubigné France in 1620 is constrained to leave, after the judgment of sound universal Histoire since 1550 until in 1601 by the Parliament. D' Aubigné was withdrawn then with Geneva, where the essence of its works is published. It there marries in 1623 Renee Burlamachi, grand-daughter of Lucquois Francesco Burlamacchi, and dies on May 9th, 1630 1.

Literary work

Ignored by its contemporaries, it was redécouvert at the time romantic, in particular by Victor Hugo, then by the Holy-Beuve critic .

the Tragedies

Other works

But of Aubigné is not the author of only one work. Its poetic beginnings are much lighter besides: spring is a collection of sonnets, stanzas and odes impregnated of petrarquism, far from the tone imprécatoire of its works to come well.

The essence of its work is indeed Polémique. D' Aubigné, engaged in the combat of its time, thus seeks to discredit vanities of the royal court and the Catholic religion in the Confession of Sieur de Sacy and the adventures of the baron de Faeneste . Its Universal Histoire is also, in spite of its title, a work of combat intended to denounce the catholic crimes at the time of the wars of religion, and to encourage the Protestants in their faith.

Towards the end of its existence, its work more clearly takes finally an autobiographical direction . He writes in particular His life with his children , (Constant, Marie and Louise), to show them “his glory” and “his faults” and their being by-there very an advantageous example.

Anecdotes

One quotes of Aubigné a feature similar to that of Régulus: captive fact by Saint-Luc during the civil war (1585), it obtained on word to go to spend a few days to La Rochelle; in the interval, he learned that Catherine de Médicis had given the order of its death; he did not return from there less at the day known as.
