Louis-Hector de Callière
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis-Hector de Callière or Callières (12 November 1648 – May 26, 1703), was the governor of New France from 1698 to 1703. He played an important role in defining the strategy that New France followed during the War of the Spanish Succession.
De Callière had received his background experience for the position of governor of New France as the governor of Montreal from 1684 to 1699. During his era there, the Iroquois war had enhanced the importance of that position. He conducted himself so well during this period that he was awarded the prestigious cross of Saint-Louis in 1694 partly under the recommendation of Buade de Frontenac.
