Pierre Gringoire

Origin
Pierre Gringoire (1475? - 1538) was a popular French poet and playwright. He was born in Normandy, at Thury-Harcourt, but the exact date and place of his death are unknown. His first work was Le Chasteau de Labour (1499), an allegorical poem. He is probably best known from Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame; the character Gringoire was inspired by and bears some resemblance to the historical Gringoire.
