Count Frontenac

Louis de Buade also known as Count Frontenac was the Governor of New France twice, first from 1672-1682, but he was taken out of the job for disobeying orders and not getting along with other government officials (like the Bishop). His second time as Governor was from 1689-1698, he died as Governor of New France.

Important relationships in Frontenacs life

During the French's war with the British, English ships were sent to New France led by a man named Captain Phips. Captain Phips demanded that Frontenac surrender but Frontenac was prepared for a siege so Frontenac and Phips fought until the British retreated.

Louis XIV was king during both Frontenac's terms as Governor he appointed him twice, removed him from his position once and was likely to remove him again if Frontenac hadn't died because the King was getting frustrated with him.
