Chrétien-Siméon Le Prévost d’Iray (13 June 1768 – 15 September 1849) was a French writer of comedies and vaudevilles.[2]
A viscount, the son of Jean-Jacques Le Prévost, lord of Iray and Chauvigny, bodyguard of the king's house, and cavalry captain, Chrétien-Siméon Le Prévost d'Iray lost most of his estate during the French Revolution. After he collaborated to the Journal des dames et des modes and embarked without much success in the theater, he became professor of history and censor at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and general inspector of education. He was a member of the Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de Caen and, in 1818, a member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres.
