Biography[edit | edit source]

In May 1519, Rabelais, alongside fellow French literature luminaries Marguerite de Navarre and Clément Marot, enjoyed a vacation at the mansion at Ferme de Vaulnaveys in Grenoble.[3] There, the trio of known friends and allies of Leonardo da Vinci were approached by an Assassin searching for leads in their search for the clues to da Vinci's havens. Rabelais and the others expressed some skepticism, and decided to test the Assassin with a riddle each,[4] which they managed to answer correctly. Pleased withm, the three dignitaries collectively agreed to allow the Assassin to meet with another of Leonardo's allies, Sir Pierre Taillard, giving them a fragment of the coat of arms they would need to do so.[5].
