Notes:

• The fall of Quebec 1628
  

• In 1628, Quebec fall to the hands of the Kirke brothers. Many historians thinks that it was a Huguenots revenge after the fall of La Rochelle. The Kirke were French Huguenots from Normandy that had fled to England. They were guided in the St-Lawrence river by another Huguenot, Jacques Michel. During the occupation of Quebec, a daughter of Guillaume Couillard will be christened by the Lutheran minister. When the French came back in 1632, she will be christened again by a Catholic Priest.
