Victor Le Bouthillier

Victor Le Bouthillier de Chavigny (1590-1670) was a French politician and clergyman.

He was a counselor of state and served as almoner to Marie de Medici then to Gaston, Duke of Orleans.

He was the uncle of Armand Jean Le Bouthillier de Rancé (1626-1700), reformer of La Trappe Abbey, which he had tried to take over as coadjutor in 1657, against opposition by cardinal Mazarin.

His library was expanded by Léon Bouthillier then Denis-François Bouthillier before being split between Montpellier, Troyes and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
