Tristan l'Hermite was a French political and military figure of the late Middle Ages.
He was provost of the marshals of the King's household under Louis XI of France, which gave him enormous power in the Intrigues and plots that characterized that king's 22-year reign.
The mystique surrounding his name caused the 17th-century French poet and playwright François l'Hermite to take his name as a pseudonym.
He appears as a figure in Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris and Walter Scott's Quentin Durward.
