Chavigny de La Bretonnière, François de
Variant names"Nota" (p. [53]) states that the work is a satire on C.M. Le Tellier, archbishop of Reims, brother of the marquis of Louvois, and that the author, after fleeing to Holland to escape the latter's wrath, was eventually arrested and confined for nearly 30 years in a cage in Mont St. Michel, where he died. According to DBF, Chavigny, a Benedictine friar (b. 1652), was arrested in Brussels after publishing 2 eds. of his satire and imprisioned in the Bastille, Feb. 5, 1685. He was delivered to the Benedictines, who had him confined at Mont St. Michel for 13 years; he was mad on his release in 1698 and died the same year.
