Paul de Chomedy, Sieur de Maisonneuve, is generally acknowledged as the founder of Ville Marie (present-day Montreal). However, when Maisonneuve led the initial colonists ashore at the site chosen for their settlement on 18 May 1642, he was fulfilling the vision of another man who had laboured for years to realize it – Jerome Le Royer de La Dauversiere.
La Dauversiere's Background
La Dauversiere was an enthusiastic participant in the religious renaissance that swept across France during the first half of the 17th century. A tax collector and ardent layman from town of La Fleche in the Anjou region, he was poor and lacking in social graces. Yet he was a compelling personality, combining the religious zeal of a convert and the conviction of a mystic with the practical business skills of a merchant. He was also extremely tenacious. On 2 November 1630, following the day's religious observances, he had been inspired to establish an order of nursing sisters dedicated to St. Joseph. Despite his lack of financial resources, he undertook this task with such vigour and single-mindedness that within four years the first of his nursing nuns (Hospitaliers) were ministering to the sick.
La Dauversiere also had close contacts with the Jesuits of La Fleche College, where he read letters and reports written by Charles Lalament, a missionary in New France. The college's professors included several missionaries who had returned to France following the capture of Quebec by the English in 1629. These men told La Dauversiere about the missions that had been established among the Indians of New France to convert them to Christianity, and provided him with a good understanding of the country's geography.
