Jean Ogier de Gombauld
Jean Ogier de Gombauld (* 1576 in Saint-Just-Luzac , today's Département Charente-Maritime , † 1666 in Paris ) was a French writer.
De Gombauld came from a Huguenot family. He probably completed his training in Bordeaux . He then settled in Paris and around 1610 became the favorite of Queen Marie de Medici .
During the Querelle du Cid in 1637 he became the vehement defender of Pierre Corneille .
When the Académie française was founded by Cardinal Richelieu in 1634 , de Gombauld was one of the first members ( armchair 5 ). After his death in 1666 Paul Tallemant the Younger succeeded him in this place.
De Gombauld's poetry is in the style of Jean Bertaut and always saw itself as a counterpoint to the “mundane-frivolous” direction of contemporary poetry. De Gombauld was one of the last confidants of the Salonnière Marquise de Rambouillet .
