Fran\u00e7ois L’Hermite (1601-1655), known as Tristan, led a very turbulent life from his youth. Page of Henry of Bourbon, he fought a duel at the age of thirteen, during which he killed his opponent. First a refugee in England, he then found himself in Norway. Returning to France, he was first welcomed by Sc\u00e9vole de Sainte-Marthe in Poitiers, he then entered the service of the Duke of Mayenne before joining the service of Gaston d’Orl\u00e9ans whom he accompanied to Lorraine then to Flanders .<\/p>\n
“It was in Antwerp that in 1633, he published The Complaints of Acante. It was very successful…He was a poet, knew how to analyze all the delicacies of love, and in the history of thought French, he was one of the first to demonstrate a fairly lively feeling for nature” (see Grente).<\/p>\n
A highly appreciated playwright of his time, he was considered a rival of Corneille by his contemporaries. <\/p>\n
