Vital d'Audiguier

Vital d'Audiguier (Najac, 1565 - Paris, 1624), was a French poet and writer. He was murdered as the result of a brawl over a gambling debt.

His best known work was a swashbuckling chivalrous novel published anonymously in 1615, entitled Histoire tragi-comique de notre temps. Though in subsequent editions it is called Histoire des Amours de Lysandre et de Caliste.^[1]
