Gardeur (_q.v._). His father brought him to Canada at the age of four
years. Resided in Montreal, 1642-1643; and in 1656 married Marguerite,
daughter of Jean Nicolet, the explorer. In 1663 elected mayor of Quebec,
but promptly resigned under official pressure, the policy of the
government being opposed to anything approaching popular government.

Iroquois attack. In 1687 accompanied Denonville on his expedition
against the Iroquois. =Index=: =F= Goes to France on behalf of Montreal

following year on his way to France. =Bib.=: Parkman, _Frontenac_.
