title: [Philibert Boudin and François Baranjon, Louis XIV's apothecaries allied to Jehan Poisson, apothecary to the King, native of Angers].
abstract: This article is devoted to the biographical study of two of Louis XIV's apothecaries, Philibert Boudin and François Baranjon, who were both born and lived in Paris, the former in rue Saint-Thomas-du-Louvre, and the latter in rue de l'Arbre-sec. They were thus neighbours and became good friends. Philibert Boudin held the office of apothecary to the King, the Dauphin, and his children, including the Duc d'Anjou, the future Louis XV, and at the end of his long life he was appointed secretary to the King. He amassed a sizeable fortune. In 1662, he married Marie Bizière, niece of the King's apothecary, Jehan Poisson, who came from the Anjou region. Philibert died in 1712. François Baranjon held the office of apothecary to Louis XIII and Louis XIV. He married Marie Legangneulx in 1620. Their daughter, Marie-Magdeleine married the apothecary Jehan Poisson under remarkable conditions, as their marriage contract was signed by the young King Louis XIV, the Queen Regent Anne of Austria, and Cardinal Mazarin. François Baranjon probably died in 1666. The main person linking these lines of apothecaries is Jehan Poisson, apothecary of the King, whose forebears in Anjou and descendants in Paris included many apothecaries, through collateral alliances with the families of the Parisian apothecaries Philibert Boudin and François Baranjon.
