Nicolas Le Fèvre was born at Paris, in 1544, and devoted himself to literature. Henri IV entrusted to him the education of the Prince de Condé; and he subsequently became, under Marie de Medicis, the preceptor of Louis XIII. He died in 1612. David de Rivault, Sieur de Flurance, was born at Laval in 1571, and died at Tours in 1616.
Unfortunately for the young Louis, this excellent man only lived a year after his appointment, and was, in his turn, replaced by M. de Rivault, a celebrated mathematician, who had been educated with Guy, Comte de Laval.
