He tried in vain to save the life of Dutch statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt after he was sentenced to death in the Trial of Oldenbarnevelt, Grotius and Hogerbeets. Early life Aubery was born the son of Jehan Aubery du Maurier and his second wife Madeleine Froger. His parents were both huguenots. He was therefore also raised in that faith. He studied in Le Mans, and after 1582 in Paris at several colleges, among which the ''Collège de Clermont''. He studied philosophy under Theodore Beza for a year after 1583 in the Republic of Geneva.
