Antoine d'Aquin
Antoine d'Aquin born in 1629 in Paris and died on 17 May 1696 in Vichy was a French physician. In April 1672, he became the king's first doctor in the service of Louis XIV.[1][2] He was Lord and Count de Jouy-en-Josas.[3][4]
Biography
His grandfather was Philippe d'Aquin born Mordekhaï Crescas, his father Louis-Henri d'Aquin (fr), physician to Queen Marie de' Medici, and his mother Claire Louis Lopez[5], daughter of Alfonso Henri, secretary to the pretender to the throne of Portugal, Don Antonio, then financial agent and adviser to Cardinal Richelieu, and of Claire Franc.
Antoine studied medicine in Montpellier, became a doctor there (1648) and in 1656 acquired the survivorship of his father's office.[2] In the same year (24 October), he married Marguerite Geneviève Gayant, the niece of Antoine Vallot (fr), king's first doctor in the service of Louis XIV.[5]
On 18 April 1672, he succeeded Antoine Vallot as king's first doctor[6], after eight months of intrigue and the support of the favourite, Mme de Montespan, maîtresse-en-titre of king Louis XIV.[7]
During his 21 years in office, Daquin had a lot to do with the king: he had to treat a dislocation of the elbow following a fall from a horse, gouty arthritis, a boil in the armpit and necrosis of the palatine arch. He also had to extract the teeth from Louis XIV's upper jaw and treat a perineal abscess which resulted in an anal fistula.[8]
