          François viète family.

          Biography

          François Viète's father was Étienne Viète, a lawyer in Fontenay-le-Comte in western France about 50 km east of the coastal town of La Rochelle. François' mother was Marguerite Dupont.

          He attended school in Fontenay-le-Comte and then moved to Poitiers, about 80 km east of Fontenay-le-Comte, where he was educated at the University of Poitiers. Given the occupation of his father, it is not surprising that Viète studied law at university.

          After graduating with a law degree in 1560, Viète entered the legal profession but he only continued on this path for four years before deciding to change his career.

          In 1564 Viète took a position in the service of Antoinette d'Aubeterre.
