Excerpt from Cardinal d'Ossat, Évêque de Rennes Et de Bayeux (1537-1604): Sa Vie, Ses Négociations A Rome
Telle fut, en effet, la place qu'occupa, auprès du fils et des neveux de Thomas de Marca, le jeune d'ossat. Il était 'associé à leurs études, afin que, dit Amelot, par une guerre d'émulation et d'honneur, ce fut à qui surpasserait son compagnon. (3) Dans cette première lutte d'activité et d'intelligence, la victoire resta à d'ossat. Nous ne savons pas si elle lui fut chèrement disputée; toujours est-il qu'elle fut assez éclatante pour déterminer de Marca a faire de d'ossat le maitre de ceux dont il avait été le condisciple. Il envoya ses fils et ses pupilles au collège d'auch. (4) d'ossat devait leur servir de précepteur.
