Hubert Languet

In 1549 Languet went to Wittenberg, where he was kindly received by Melanchthon as a guest, frequently accompanying him on his travels and being on intimate terms with his friends.

Expelled from France by the persecutions of the Protestants, he settled at Wittenberg, spending the winters there, but making extensive journeys in the summer and autumn.

In May 1561, Languet went to France in order to bring about a closer connection between the German princes and the French Protestants, and was present at the Religious Conference of Poissy.

In 1571 the elector sent Languet together with the ambassadors of other Protestant princes of Germany to King Charles IX of France to congratulate him on the Peace of Saint Germain.
