At the recommendation of the Bishop of Chur Paul Ziegler , Marcus Tatius came to St. Peter in Munich as a student of Wolfgang Anemoecius (Wolfgang Winthauser) in the late 1520s . He made his living initially by making music and begging and then teaching Munich citizens' sons. In 1532 he became a tutor in the house of Raymund Fugger in Augsburg . His first work Progymnasmata also fell during this time . After Raymunds 1535 he took a job with Hieronymus Fugger .

In 1539/1540 he became a professor of poetry in Ingolstadt . In 1540 Tatius fell out of favor for unknown reasons and had to temporarily move to Strasbourg . In 1541 he was awarded the poet's crown .

After promotion to Doctor of Laws 1548/1550 he came as assessor to the Imperial Court in Speyer.
