Hugh Morgan (apothecary)

Apothecary to Queen Elizabeth

Hugh Morgan (c.1530–1613) was appointed as Queen Elizabeth I's apothecary in 1583. He is believed to have introduced vanilla to Queen Elizabeth (and Britain) as a flavour in its own right (not just an enhancer for coffee or chocolate as had been used in Europe).
