De Rhodes à Ross Pontus de Tyard – Liaisons dangereuses ?

The author is perfectly convinced that Tyard was very close to the members of his family as well as to all those who were dear to him. In that regard, he demonstrates his commitment toward others, citing the example of two of his friends, Jacques de Vintimille and John Lesley. It is, in fact, highly probable that Pontus personally intervened in order to obtain in their behalf a position with stable income, the former as advisor to the Dijon Parliament, the latter as suffragan bishop in Rouen.
