Théodore-Agrippa d'Aubigné (French pronunciation: [teo.dɔʁ aɡʁipa dobiɲe], 8 February 1552 – 29 April 1630) was a French poet, soldier, propagandist and chronicler.
His epic poem Les Tragiques (1616) is widely regarded as his masterpiece.In a book about his Catholic contemporary Jean de La Ceppède, English poet Keith Bosley has called d'Aubigné, "the epic poet of the Protestant cause," during the French Wars of Religion.
Bosley added, however, that after d'Aubigné's death, he, "was forgotten until the Romantics rediscovered him."
