He served in the artillery, and at the expressed desire of Francis I he translated into French the first eight books of Amadis de Gaula (1540-1548). The remaining books were translated by other authors. His other translations from the Spanish include L'Amant maltraite de sa mye (1539); Le Prmier Livre de la chronique de dom Flores de Grce (1552); and L'Horloge des princes (1555) from Guevara. He also translated the works of Josephus (1557). The Amadis de Gaula was translated into English by Anthony Munday in 1619.
