About the author

Pierre de Bourdeille Brantôme

d. 1614

A lively French memoirist of the Renaissance, he turned court gossip, military experience, and sharp character sketches into writing that still feels vivid centuries later. His books are prized for the way they capture the personalities and intrigues of 16th-century France.
