His best-known work is Le Théâtre François, still the main description of 17th century French Drama. He also published a number of plays, a novel, a dictionary and several travel and geographical books. He wrote Tavernier's travel guides from his dictation. It is known that Molière took and reworked some of Samuel's plays to form the basis of his own work.
Career
Author, Playwright and Teacher. Tutor to Prince William III of Orange 1659 to 1661.
Spiritual Life
Calvinist, preacher.
Descendants
Many descendants are known in Germany and Chile, where the Chappuzeau name still occurs, and also in UK, France, Netherlands, Canada, US and Australia.
These are all descended either from Christoph (Germany and Chile) or from Eve.
It is believed that Jacob Chappuzeau, (aka Iakov Shapizo), a Captain in the Russian Fleet, was also a descendant, but this is not yet proven. If so, then he must have been the child of one of Samuel's other sons.
There seems to be no-one in France still carrying the Chappuzeau name, at least in that spelling.
