    MONTS, Sieur de, thus called by Marie de l’Incarnation [seeGuyart], but also designated under the names Dumons and de Mons; royal commissioner in New France; fl. 1662.

    In 1662 Pierre Boucher* had met Louis XIV and had discussed with him the problems and needs of New France. The king had promised him substantial assistance for the following year; but meanwhile he sent some 100 soldiers to Canada, under the orders of a gentleman named dem Monts.

In 1608 he obtained, however, a new monopoly, and sent out Champlain to found the post of Quebec on the St. Lawrence.

He died appa
