His significance in botany is reflected in the genus Fagonia being named after him. He also acted as the physician of Louis XIV of France.[3] In 1669 he was made an honorary member of the French Academy of Sciences. He wrote about the health of the royal family.[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.[5] Despite this he remained in charge of the Royal Garden until his death in 1718.[6]
