'''Daniel Chamier''' (1564–1621) was a [[Huguenot]] minister in [[France]], founder of the [[Academy of Montpellier]] and author.<br />
<br />
==Life and work==<br />
Chamier was born at the castle of Le Mont, near [[Mocas]] and west of [[Grenoble]]. His father was from [[Avignon]] and a Protestant convert, a pastor at [[Montélimar]]. Daniel studied at the now defunct [[University of Orange]] (1365-1793) and at [[Geneva]] under [[Theodore Beza]] and [[Antoine de la Faye]] (1540–1615), in the period 1583 to 1589. He was ordained minister at [[Montpellier]], and about 1595 succeeded his father at Montélimar.<ref name=SH>''Schaff-Herzog'' article; [https://archive.org/stream/newschaffherzog29haucgoog#page/n22/mode/2up Online.]</ref><br />
<br />
His provincial synod appointed him deputy to the National Synod at [[Saumur]], and the gathering at [[Loudun]] in 1596. He was involved in drafting the [[Edict of Nantes]], and brought the Edict to the Synod of Montpellier in 1598. In 1601 and 1602 he took part in discussions at Montpellier with the [[Jesuits]] [[Pierre Coton]] and Gaultier. In 1603 he presided over the National Synod at [[Gap, France]], where an article was added to the Reformed Confession of faith declaring the [[Pope]] to be the [[Antichrist (historicism)|Antichrist]].<ref name=SH/><br />
<br />
In 1607 [[Henry IV of France]] granted him permission as representative of the Church of [[Dauphiné]] to establish an academy at Montpellier, and he became professor there. Chamier returned, however, after a short time to Montélimar. In 1612 he became pastor and professor at Montauban. When [[Louis XIII]] besieged the city in 1621, Chamier sent his students to the walls, and was mortally wounded during the defense.<ref name=SH/><br />
