The Great Intendant: A Chronicle of Jean Talon in Canada, 1665-1672 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Great Intendant: A Chronicle of Jean Talon in Canada, 1665-1672
The hour was auspicious for the entreaties of New France. Petitions and statements were addressed to the king by Mgr de Laval, the head of ecclesiastical affairs in the colony, by the governor Avaugour, and by the Jesuit fathers; and Pierre Boucher, governor of the district of Three Rivers, was sent to France as a delegate to present them. Louis and his minister studied the conditions of the colony on the St Lawrence and decided in 1663 to give it a new constitution. The charter of the One Hundred Associates was cancelled and the old Council of Quebec - formed in 1647 - was reorganized under the name of the Sovereign Council. This new governing body was to be composed of the governor, the bishop.
