Updated Wiki: Louis de Vanens - Paul Ferguson - 05-07-2024
Upgraded from 'poisoner' to 'alchemist and poisoner'.
"Vanens came from Arles and called himself Chevalier de Vanens. He was arrested by the direct orders of Louvois on 5 December 1677, after having declared that he was able to make gold and had been observed with a banknote of 200,000 livres."
