Christophe de Longueil
Christophe de Longueil (1488 or 1490–1522), Latin name Christophorus Longolius, was a humanist born at Mechelen in Brabant and raised in France. He studied law at Valence, became a lawyer in 1511 and held office in Paris from 1513, and also tutored the young King Francis I.
Moving to Rome in 1517, he joined the Ciceronian circle of Pietro Bembo and Jacopo Sadoleto and obtained Roman citizenship in 1519, despite a campaign against him over an early speech praising the Franks above the Romans. Harassed, he withdrew to Venice and Padua, where he died on 11 September 1522.
