In spite of the ongoing and escalating conflict between LaTour and his well-connected rival Governor, Charles de Menou, Sieur d'Aulnay, she would elevate LaTour's status amongst the power brokers of the day in France and in the growing English colonies to the south. In 1645, she would successfully defend Fort LaTour against a vicious attack by d'Aulnay, only to be betrayed, ultimately losing her life. Buried in the vicinity of the fort, in what is now downtown Saint John, her bones have never been found. Remains of the fort still exist, protected as a national heritage site, hidden beneath layers of ancient soil.Biography – JACQUELIN, FRANÇOISE (Françoise-Marie) – Volume I (1000-1700) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/jacquelin_francoise_marie_1E.html 2023-01-24 www.biographi.caFrançoise-Marie Jacquelin, Madame de La Tour and the defence of Fort St.Jean, 1645 https://silverhawkauthor.com/post/francoise-marie-jacquelin-madame-de-la-tour-and-the-defence-of-fort-st-jean-1645 2023-01-24 silverhawkauthor.com en 17 May 1642: The trade settlement at Montreal is founded by the Sieur de Maisonneuve.Adair E. 1942 The Evolution of Montreal under the French Regime https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/ram/1942-v21-n1-ram1254/300228ar/abstract/ Report of the Annual Meeting en 21 1 20–41 10.7202/300228ar 144896580 0317-0594 free Founding of Montreal https://www.canadahistory.ca/sections/documents/explorers/Founding%20of%20Montreal.html 2023-01-24 www.canadahistory.ca 5 January 1643: The first Mount Royal Cross erectedThe cross on Mount Royal: a storied history https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/the-cross-on-mount-royal-a-storied-history 2023-01-24 montrealgazette en-CA2012-11-20 Forbidden Montreal: The Mount Royal Cross https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/forbidden-montreal-the-mount-royal-cross/ 2023-01-24 Montreal en 1644: Second Powhatan Confederacy uprising against Jamestown, Virginia; its leader, Opechancanough, dies in captivity.Yorktown Mailing Address: P.
