philippe de rigaud vaudreuil

Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil (1643 - October 11, 1725) was Governor-general of New France (now Canada) from 1703 to 1725. He was born in the castle of Vaudreuil, near Castelnaudary, France. As Chevalier de Vaudreuil, he was sent to command French forces in New France before being appointed governor of Montreal in 1702, and then governor-general of New France in 1703. Vaudreuil was a successful administrator and reformer, and pursued an enlightened policy towards the Native Americans in the region, who remained overwhelmingly pro-French. He died in Quebec City on October 11, 1725. His son, Pierre de Cavagnal, Marquis de Vaudreuil, later served as the last governor-general of New France before its conquest by the British in 1760, during the French and Indian War. Several of his other sons went on to distinguished careers in the French army and navy.
