description: "François Hédelin, abbé d'Aubignac was a French author and cleric. He was a grandson of the surgeon Ambroise Paré. D'Aubignac worked as a lawyer in his early life, but he then joined the clergy. He was appointed as a tutor to a nephew of Cardinal Richelieu and secured the patronage of Richelieu himself. After the early death of his student in 1646, he devoted most of his time to literature and the theatre. He wrote four tragedies between 1642 and 1650, but he is primarily known for his non-fiction works on dramatic theory. He also wrote a book which disputed the historicity of Homer."
