Frontenac, Louis De Buade, Comte de, (1620–98),French governor of New France (1672–82, 1689–98) whose attempts to obtain political independence for Canada were restrained by the home government. He was frequently in conflict with the sovereign council, the intendant or royal tax collector, and the Jesuits, and was recalled in 1682, only to be returned in 1689 to suppress uprisings of the Iroquois and to bring about their final submission (1696). He aided the explorations of Jolliet, Marquette, and La Salle, established military posts, repulsed the attack on Quebec by Sir William Phips, and made war on the New England coast. He is the subject of a work by Parkman, and figures in
Shadows on the Rock.
