    • OCCUPATION: Apothicaire

      CHRISTENING: Apothicaire Apothecarist Or Druggist And Epicier Spice Merchant Abt 1570 St Germain Des Pres, Paris, Ile de France

      A physician in the court of Catherine de Medici, Queen Mother of France.


      From Renee Jette, "Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles du Quebec"1983, University of Montreal, Page 561. Lived on St. Honore Street in Paris. Apothicaire, grocer atSt-Germain-des-Pres, in Paris. He was a druggist to the Queen herself,and he and his son Louis were almost certain to have had unusual accessto the palace.

      From "New Findings on Louis Hebert and His Family Before His Departurefor New France" by Madame M. Jurgens in the "French Canadian and AcadianGenealogical Review, Vol. V, Nos. 1-2" 1975. Nicolas was Executor of his mother-in-law's estate. The entire Pajotfamily eventually turned against Nicolas and his wife, accusing them,before the provost of Paris, of owing them various sums and objects. Thematter was settled out of court ot avoid the cost of a lawsuit. Allparties appear contented after that. The Saint-Mande house, with thevineyards, became the inheritance of Jacqueline and Nicolas. Nicolas owned property that he purchased himself, The Coeur Royal andthe Trois Piliers and the Moortier d'or, all on the south side of RueSaint-Honore. Nicolas lived in the Mortier d'or (the golden Mortar).This was where son, Louis, lived as a boy. "The house was ancient, beingalready in existence in 1415, inhabited by a wine merchant, Jehan deParis, and later by the Teste family, owners of part of the quarter. Thehouse was large, with double living quarters, of freestone. On theground floor the store and back store were located, and on the side avaulted alley which opened out to the street and ended with the stairsleading to the upper stories and the court; under the stairs, an irongrill protected the descent toward the cellars. The second floor,square, included tow large rooms with fireplace, one facing the streetand the other the court; a passageway served as enterance and behind thispassageway, a small room used for storage. The third floor, under thegable, was panelled facing the street, but square facing the court andincluded 5 small rooms, of which 3 had a fireplace. An attic topped itall, and the roof was tile. In the court, there was another small livingquarters which, thanks to a passageway in back of the houses of the TroisPillers and the Aigle royal, had an exit to Rues des Poulies. The livingquarters facing Rue Saint-Honore still exist at present, at No. 129,slightly altered, because it was raised by 2 floors and decorated bybalconies at each of the 3 facade windows, toward the end of the XVIIthcentury. At the present time (1975), two stores occupy the ground floor(one is lodged in the old vaulted alley) and access to the apartment ofeach floor is obtained by a new stairway built at No. 20 of the Rue duLouvre, at the site which previously served as an exit for theoutbuildings of the Mortier d'or. Financial worries plagued Nicolas, as it did the rest of the bourgeoisfo Paris, as it was a troubled period, with the financial requirements ofthe religious wars and the League overwhelming it. The first sign of itwas Nicolas' sale of Coeur royal on 27-Jul-1569. The following year hewas forced to mortgage his more, Mortier d'or. After Nicolas'remarriage, besides his own difficulties, he had to resolve those of hisnew wife and step-children. He had some of his goods seized over aninheritance of his new sister-in-law. 1588 brought the most criticaldays in Paris for the League. The kingdom was in the throes of war, andParis was living in an air of insurection. The representatives of the 16Paris quarters had formed into a council within the League. King Henrythe Third was forced to flee Paris, which was bristling with barricades.The beorgeoisie favored the League, and Nicolas was one of them. Nicolaswas close friends with one ofthe fiercest orators of the League, Jacquesde Cueilly, the parish priest of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois. Jacques waslikely one of the stepsons of the first marriage of Nicolas' wife,Jacqueline. The temporary victory of the League at Paris did not end badtimes. In 1589 the King was assassinated. In 1590 the seige of Parisbegan, with all it's consequences, misery, famine and the end of allcommerce. With the seige of Paris going on in 1589, Nicolas was forced to borrow alarger sum, which he was unable to repay as agreed. He was forced by thecourts to replay the loan, and had to sell his share of Mortier d'or. Hewas unable to pay all he owed, and was sentenced to spend two years inprison, in the Chatelet. He was so pooly cared for in prision that hisson-in-law, Maheut, had to pay the rate of 30 ecus per year for food andthe jailer 26 ecus. When Nicolas got out of prison he was so ill thatdoctors were not able to heal him. What became of Nicolas? His second wife, Marie, had died. He did nottry to recapture the habits an dmemories of the past. He crossed theSeine River and established himself in the new quarter ofSaint-Germain-des-Pres. With him was his third wife, Renee Savoreau, ofwhom nothing is known except that she had many financial interests in theChartres region, and so likely came from there. The last record of Nicolas' life was at Chartres, where Nicolas went tocarry out a transaction regarding a tennis court, Rue de l'Autriche, andlands located at Saint-Denis de Champfer. His hand ws shaky and hissignature incomplete. This was his last appearance on 8-Jan-1600. Hewas to disappear in the course of the year, without a will or inventory,as he was without property.
