François Hotman (August 23, 1524 - February 12, 1590), French Huguenot lawyer and scholar, secretary to John Calvin, and author, contributed an important work in defense of Calvinist constitutional legal principles entitled Francogallia (1573), which is commended by Thomas M'Crie in The Life of Andrew Melville as being on par with George Buchanan's The Rights of the Crown in Scotland and [Philippe Duplessis-Mornay's] A Defense of Liberty Against Tyrants.
