His father, William Fagan, was a descendant of Irish refugees in France at the time of religious persecution.[clarification needed] The King's secretary and controller of the Chancellery and the Wars, he was ruined by the bankruptcy of the système de Law [fr] and had to later settle for a more modest employment at the office of consignment at the Parlement of Paris, where he won a position for his son who had married at the age of 20 a much older widow than him. He took a liking to theater and wrote some thirty plays presented mostly at Théâtre de la foire, Théâtre-Italien and Théâtre-Français. He died of dropsy at age 53.
