The era of the Grand Siècle in France was the period of the ambitious development of the continental French empire in North America, in New France, around its capital, Québec City. From the very beginning of his reign, Louis XIV and his Secretary of State for the Navy, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, determinedly encouraged the expansion of the colony, providing it with solid institutions such as the edict of 1663 which made it a royal province and encouraged settlers to move in.In 1672, the king named Louis de Buade, Count of Frontenac and Palluau (1622-1698), “governor and lieutenant-general for the king” in New France. This gentleman, born in 1622 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye where his father and grandfather were governors of the castle, belonged to an ancient family of the nobility of the sword. In his youth, Frontenac frequently fought in the king's armies. His entire public life, in addition to being that of an important administrator of the king, is also a reflection of the social evolution of the French nobility of the sword faced with the challenges of the century of Louis XIV.The role of Governor Frontenac in North America was to strengthen the French presence, particularly threatened by the English and weakened by demographic deficit. He also had to control the fur trade and establish even closer relations with the Native Americans while maintaining the peace with them. However, in 1682, after ten years in Québec City, his authoritarian behavior, and especially his problems with the other administrators of New France, namely the intendant Jacques Duchesneau as well with the religious authorities, provoked his recall to France.And yet, seven years later, in 1689, Frontenac was appointed governor of New France by the king for the second time and returned to North America in the context of the Nine Years' war. Despite limited resources granted by the French homeland, he managed to victoriously repel "by the mouth of his cannons and muskets" a major English attack led by General Phips on Québec City in the fall of 1690, a victory which made him go down in history. His second term was then largely devoted to creating the conditions for a lasting peace with the Iroquois. Frontenac finally died in 1698 in Québec City. It was during that period that New France reached its greatest territorial expansion when the Great Peace of Montréal was signed with thirty-nine Amerindian nations in August 1701, an agreement Frontenac had carefully helped to prepare.This doctoral thesis aims to demonstrate that New France reached its heyday during the time Frontenac was governor of Canada
