Today a small market town, it was once home of the French royal court. It is famous for its royal castles. Many noteable people lived at Amboise, such as Charles VIII, King of France, born in 1470. Louis XI lived there as well. In 1516, Francois I invited the famous painter, Leonardo de Vinci, to stay there. The Château at Amboise was home to Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots, for much of her early life, as she was raised there at the French court of Henry II. She arrived in France from Scotland in 1548, aged 6, via the French king's favourite palace at Saint Germain en Laye near Paris, and remained in France until 1561, when she returned to her homeland as Queen. Our 9X paternal Great Grandparents, Rene Bergeron d’Amboise (1643), and Anne Dagaut (1646), were born in France. Rene was born at Chapelle, Florentine, Amboise. Anne was born at Tours, Indre-et-Loire. Chapelle, Florentine - 2 - Tours Also, our 9X maternal Great Grandparents, Jean Serreau de St-Aubin (1621) and Marguerite Boileau (1638), were also born in France, Jean at Loudun, Poitou-Charentes, France, and Marguerite at Orches, Poitou, France. The area south of Loudun is the place of origin of a significant portion of the Acadians, one of the early founding people of New France in Canada. Both the Bergerons and Serreaus were from noble families in France who had fallen on hard times. Porte du Martray in Loudun Orches, Poitou, France - 3 - History of the Amboises In the late 900s, Gelduin, the Lord of Saumur, moved from Saumur, between Angers and Tours, to a new chateau at Chaumont-sur-Loire, just upriver from Amboise. His son was the first to be called d'Amboise, supposedly after he incorporated the town of Amboise into his estates. The first seigneur of Amboise was an Angevin loyalist, Lisois I, living about the same time as Gelduin. Lisois' son married Denise de Chaumont, possibly the daughter or granddaughter of Gelduin, resulting in a long line of the d'Amboise family centered in both Amboise and Chaumont. They were nominally loyal to the Counts of Anjou, one of whom inherited the English throne, Henry II, and founded the Plantagenet dynasty in that country. It was at Chaumont that Henry II met for the last time with Archbishop Thomas à Becket, who was murdered shortly afterwards in his cathedral at Canterbury. The chateau at Chaumont was razed to the ground not long after. The Amboise clan grew in strength and stature throughout the ages. They married well, and inherited a number of other seigneuries and a chateau. They also rebuilt their original home. At least one of these Lords of Amboise (Seigneurs d'Amboise) died in one of the battles of the Hundred Years War. House of Amboise The family split in two, one line centered at Amboise, the other at Chaumont. In 1460, seven years after the end of the Hundred Years War, Pierre d'Amboise had 17 children, one of whom he named George. Some of George’s siblings became famous in French history. King Louis XI of France (1461-83) (he has a big nose) inherited a medieval realm and developed it into a national monarchy that lasted until the French Revolution of 1789. A new merchant class grew, which sheltered the growing bourgeoisie, and held the lords in check. The nobles did not care for the centralization of power that Louis XI was forging and in 1465 a number of them rebelled "for the good of the people." Pierre d'Amboise, who had fought for his country with Jeanne d'Arc at Orleans, participated in the rebellion. Louis regained control and took the chateau at - 4 - Chaumont away from d'Amboise, razed it to the ground, then returned the land to the family. However, the d'Amboise family was powerful enough not to simply accept this. Pierre began rebuilding his chateau the next year, and the work was continued by a son, Charles, and his grandson, Charles II. Of Pierre d'Amboise's 17 children, two sons (including Georges) became cardinals in the Catholic Church. Another was an architect and builder. A number of others were counselors to various kings. For being "petite noblesse" or minor aristocracy, this was a very influential family. At this time, the king owned the lands around the town of Amboise. He began the planning and building of a great chateau on a rocky spur of land jutting into the Loire River. It was designed to guard the bridgehead and the small town. The French King, Charles VIII (1483-98), was born at Amboise in 1470. It was he who built the Chapel of St. Hubert, originally as part of the chateau. He also had a big nose. Louis XII (1498-1515) continued building the structure at Amboise, and was responsible for building the Louis XII wing, six large double casements connected by a balcony of ironworks. He also continued the big nose. By now Georges d'Amboise, son of Pierre, was Georges, Cardinal d'Amboise. He became one of the most reliable advisors to Louis XII, and the king turned over many functions to him. In fact, when people asked the king to do something, he would reply: "Laissez faire à Georges" (Let George do it)! Francis I (1515-1547) continued work on the great chateau at Amboise. During his reign, Leonardo da Vinci finally came to live in France; he died at Amboise (at the Clos Lucé manor) as a guest of the king in 1519. Francis is supposedly buried in the Chapel of St-Hubert. He also continued the tradition of the big nose, although he looks very different from his forebears (almost Asian). - 5 - Eventually the great Amboise family had "four main branches" which consisted of the family at Amboise itself, those at Chaumont-sur-Loire (Pierre's and Georges' family), the famous branch at Bussy and another branch at Aubijoux. Sometime in the early 1500s, after the chateau of Chaumont was completed, the Amboise family lost their home for the final time. At that time, all of society was changing and the aristocracy was suffering a number of reversals The next century and a half were filled with wars, religious civil wars, and rebellions. During the French Wars of Religion, Catholics and Calvinists (the Huguenots or French Protestants) fought each other through eight civil wars from 1561 to 1598. During these terrible times a mass execution was carried out at the chateau of Amboise in 1560, after which the royal family rarely used the place. A horrible massacre again occurred on St. Bartholomew's Night (1572). The Valois dynasty in France ended, with the throne reverting to the Bourbon family (1594). Aside from massive political and religious movements, this period also saw economic influences the world had never seen before. The influx of gold and silver from the Americas changed everything. Significant amounts of silver, although worth less than gold, had reached Europe. For the first time in history, smaller, less valuable silver coins gave common people the chance to earn and save money. Common people with spendable cash caused unbelievable social change: the middle class (called the bourgeoisie in France) was born. All of this had a grave effect on the aristocracy. Tax structures were changing and peasants were leaving the land for cities, jobs, and a chance to live a better life. The aristocracy was suddenly unable to raise the money they had once collected from the peasants who worked on their land. The cost of horses, carriages, good cloth (not the woolens worn by the peasants), the great variety of foods, good wine, and all the necessary servants was tremendous. Between the new - 6 - economic phenomenon called inflation and their reduced income, it became extremely difficult for the nobles to run a chateau or a mansion in a manner that was expected.

  • Siege of Port Royal (1707)
    Siege of Port Royal (1707) Port-Royal was a settlement on the site of modern-day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, part of the French colony of Acadia. It was founded in 1605 by Samuel de Champlain, almost twenty years after Habitation at Port-Royal was destroyed. For most of the period until the Siege of Port Royal by the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1710, the village was the capital of Acadia. Port-Royal was the primary Acadian settlement until Acadians migrated out of the community to Pisiguit, Cobequid, Grand Pre, and Beaubassin The Siege of Port Royal in 1707 was two separate attempts by English colonists from New England to conquer Acadia (roughly the present-day Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) by capturing its capital Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal) during Queen Anne's War. Both attempts were made by colonial militia, and were led by men inexperienced in siege warfare. Led by Acadian Governor Daniel d'Auger de Subercase, the French troops at Port Royal easily withstood both attempts, assisted by Queen Anne's War. Siege of Port Royal (1707). See also. References. During King William's War, Baptiste fought in the Battle of Port Royal (1690). On May 9, 1690 English forces under Sir William Phipps attacked the capital of Acadia of Port Royal with a fleet of seven vessels and 700 men. Baptiste was among only 85 men defending an unfinished fortification at Port Royal. After spending 12 days pillaging Port Royal, Phipps' troops pillaged the rest of Acadia, including Castine, La Hève, Chedabucto and the settlements at the head of the Bay of Fundy.

  • Winter 2021 Newsletter
    WINTER Les Guédry et Petitpas d’Asteur 2021 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 1 GENERATIONS Our Winter 2021 edition of Generations highlights the Acadians of Massachusetts. If traveling to Massachu- setts, be sure to review the many sites there that have an Acadian connection. I found it amazing that a carved powder horn given as a gift by Acadians to a British farmer has survived to this day. Read about this group of Acadians expelled to Andover, MA and their relationship with Jonathan Abbott and the unique gift he re- ceived. In the Summer 2020 (Vol. 18 No. 2) issue of Generations we discussed the many museums and historic villages across the world that displayed our Acadian heritage. As expected, we did not capture every museum. Al Pettipas of Dartmouth, NS added another museum to our list – the Amos Seaman School Museum in Minudie, Nova Scotia near Amherst. Built in 1840 by Amos Seaman as a one-room school for his children and those of his tenants – likely including some Acadians. He also built the historic Unitarian and Catholic Churches on either side of the school. The museum contains many historic artifacts and documents preserving the history of the Minudie community which was an Acadian settlement from 1672 – 1755. In addition to documents identifying the Acadian residents in Minudie before 1755, the museum contains an original Acadi- an aboiteau found in the Minudie area in 1989, the original desks and furniture of the school and a model of an Acadian house. The museum is open in July and August from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm, seven days a week.

  • Descendants of Charles Boudrot (1710-1766) Compiled by Mary Wiley Campbell
    Descendants of Charles Boudrot (1710-1766) compiled by Mary Wiley Campbell The events of the lives of Charles Boudrot1 and his family, as recorded in the records of Acadia, England, France, and Louisiana, tell the story of Le Grand Dérangement of French Acadians expelled from their homeland in what is now Nova Scotia, Canada, by the British, casualties of the wars between France and England for control of the New World. Although the dramatic and tragic story of the Acadian diaspora has become familiar through repeated retellings in literature and film, the emphasis in fictional works like Longfellow’s “Evangeline” on the separation of heartbroken lovers has sometimes softened and obscured the horrific experiences suffered by these refugees over many years. During the years of exile beginning in 1755, Acadian families were forced from their homes, crowded onto ships, many of which were ill-provisioned and overloaded, and dispersed throughout the British Empire. Some were deported to the English seaboard colonies, or, when other colonies refused to accept them, dispatched to England, where they were put into concentration camps. Others were transported to maritime France and a few managed to escape into the Canadian wilderness. Many families were separated. Over one-half of the Acadian population, which has been estimated as high 10,000 to 15,000 individuals, did not survive the expulsion, succumbing to the effects of malnutrition, exposure, shipwreck, or disease.2 The experiences of the Charles Boudrot family during this time of exile and resettlement were typical of those in most Acadian families during the Dérangement period.

    RIVER OF THREE PEOPLES: AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE WӘLASTӘW / RIVIЀRE ST. JEAN / ST.

Hatvany, Ph.D., Dept. of Geography, Université Laval This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK October, 2015 © Jason Hall, 2015 Abstract This study investigates how three distinct cultures – Maliseet, French, and British – engaged with and transformed the ecology of the Wəlastəkw/rivière St. Jean/St. John River, the largest river system in the Maritimes and New England. Ranging three centuries, ca. 1550‐1850, it examines cultural interactions relative to the river’s fish, banks, and flow to assess ecological changes. By developing comparisons among Maliseet, French, and British relationships to the river, it analyzes how cultural groups modified and expanded on the ecology of other peoples. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, including Maliseet oral traditions and language, archaeological surveys, scientific studies, historic maps and paintings, as well as diaries, letters, and reports of the waterway and its banks, this research makes significant contributions to a number of scholarly fields: river ecologies and human adaptations of them, Maliseet history, seigneurial settlement in colonial societies, Loyalist ecology, colonial and municipal legal history, historical cartography, and the role of ecological knowledge in governance and environmental activism.
