Background info on me

I was born on April 5, 1588 in Westport, Wiltshire. My father disappeared abandoning me and my two siblings to the care of my uncle. My uncle was a tradesman and alderman, who also provided my education. When I was 14, I went to Magdalen Hall in Oxford to study and then left Oxford in 1608 to become a private tutor for William Cavendish (the oldest son of Lord Cavendish). In 1610, I traveled with William to France, Italy and Germany, where I met smart people like Francis Bacon an Ben Jonson and some more old people you haven't heard of.During this time I traveled to Paris, becoming interested with Euclid's Elements. I saw a method that one could go through arguments step-by-step, and arrive at a conclusion. I apply that method in my philosphical work, A Short tract on First Principles. When the Civil war began in 1640 because world got around that I was a Royalist so I fled to Paris. During that time I published a lot of my works. Passages towards the end of the Leviathan reavealed that I was trying to make peace with the English government. I had also attacked the Roman Catholic Church which my my stay in Paris not so good... My work De Corpore contains a large amount of mathematical material. My mathematics is the study of quantity, and quantities are measure the measures of 3-dimensional bodies. I was not taken seriously at first by 1670, everyone began to take me seriously. I was 91 when I died and I spent my final years with the Cavendish family in which I was really close to. I lived a pretty successful life I might say.
