Marin Le Roy de Gomberville

Marin Le Roy, Seigneur de Gomberville (* 1600 in Paris, † June 14, 1674 ) was a French novelist.

Le Roy lived mostly on his estate in Gomberville at Versailles, and died June 14, 1674 as one of the first members of the Académie française.

He wrote didactic poetry and courteous in the taste of the time, but especially four novels ( including Poléxandre, 1632-37 ), which gave the ruling heroic- gallant novel a more realistic basis, as the same had been, and found great acclaim.
