Guy-Crescent Fagon

He came from nobility and his uncle, Guy de La Brosse, had founded the Royal Gardens.

[1] His substitute professors were Gilles-François Boulduc, Antoine de Saint-Yon and Étienne François Geoffroy.

[4] He lost his position as head physician after Louis XIV's death, which was somewhat customary after a king died, but he also received criticism for how he had dealt with the King's final illness.

People thought his methods were preposterous, and that he bled his patients to death.

He was thought to have killed Young Duc de Bourgogne (grandson of Louis XIV) and his wife the beloved Marie Adelaide.
