== Life ==
Relatively little is known about von Suchten's life.〔Humberg, p. 31.〕 His parents were Georg von Suchten and Euphemia Schultz. The von Suchten family (in Polish "Suchta") came originally from the Lower Rhine region. In 1400 the family moved to Danzig, where they became quite influential; some members of the family became city councilors and mayors.〔Strehlau, p. 326.〕 Christoph Suchten, a paternal uncle, was secretary to the Polish king Sigismund I the Old; a maternal uncle, Alexander Schultze (Scultetus) was a canon in Frombork and one of the few friends of Nicolaus Copernicus.〔(Entry in Robert A. Hatch's database ''The Scientific Revolution'' )〕
From 1535 von Suchten attended the Gymnasium in Elbląg.〔Wilhelm Gnapheus, Prima Aelbingensis scholae foetura …, Danzig 1541; also Molitor, p. 484 f.〕 In December 1538 he received a position as a canon in Frombork, through his uncle Alexander Schultze.〔Humberg, p. 31.〕 Not long after, this position was barred to uneducated men, so von Suchten matriculated in the University of Leuven on 19 January 1541, where he studied philosophy and medicine.〔The idea that Alexander had received a master's desgree in philoosophy at the University of Cracow by 1521, as some Polish authors claim – see, for example, Hubicki, p. 54 – is therefore false.〕 Around 1545 he spent a lot of time at the court of Albert of Prussia in Königsberg, where he published his poem, ''Vandalus'' (based on a Polish legend about Princess Wanda).〔For a more detailed discussion of Alexander von Suchten's poetry, see Molitor.〕 Between 1549 and 1552 he was employed as an alchemist by Otto Henry, Elector Palatine. From about 1554 to 1557 he was at the Polish royal court in Kraków. Some time after, he is supposed to have earned a medical doctorate at an Italian university (likely the University of Ferrara).〔Humberg, p. 32; Hubicki, p. 55, on the other hand, argues that Suchten's Italian studies took place between 1543 and 1545.〕 In 1563 he attempted unsuccessfully to gain a position as the personal physician in Königsberg. From 1567 he worked with the Strasbourg doctor Michael Toxites in Alsace and in the Upper Rhine. In the fall of 1574 Alexander von Suchten took up a position as a country doctor in Linz in Upper Austria. He died there on 7 November 1575.〔For more on his daily life, his death, and his estate, see Humberg.〕
