Jacques Coitier

Jacques Coitier (c. 1430 – 22 October 1506) was a French doctor. He was chief physician to Louis XI of France and president of the Chambre des comptes.
Coitier was born at Poligny, Franche-Comté. His name is spelled in several ways, most often Coictier (the spelling used by Victor Hugo in his novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame"), but also "Coittier", "Cotier", "Coytier" or "Coctier". An analysis of his signatures by Achille Chereau has allowed "Coitier" to become the standard spelling - this was the name cited most often in medical annals. He died in Paris.
