French writer
Michel, chevalier de Cubières (27 September 1752 – 23 August 1820) was an 18th-century French writer, known under the pen-names of "Palmézaux" and "Dorat-Cubières", taking the latter name as he had Claude Joseph Dorat as his master.
He was born in Roquemaure, Gard, and was the brother of Louis Pierre de Cubières.
He wrote short verses for the "Almanachs" and the "Étrennes lyriques" of the time, and a large number of plays and "écrits de circonstance". He backed the French Revolution, being made secretary to the Paris Commune and pronouncing an Elogy on Jean-Paul Marat.
He was a lover of Fanny de Beauharnais and collaborated, with Claude Joseph Dorat, on some of her writings. He died in Paris, aged 67.
