Michael Le Vassor (1648-1718) was born in France, but converted to Protestantism. He went to Holland to embark upon a literary career, making several important contacts there. He travelled to England in 1697 and authored the ‘Histoire de Louis XIV’ (1700-1711). Louis XIV responded by requesting that Vassor be dismissed, which came to pass. Vassor was then given a pension by William III.
