René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, was sponsored by King Louis XIV of France. La Salle received support from the French government and investors to fund his explorations in North America. Louis XIV granted La Salle a fur-trading monopoly in the Mississippi River Valley, which helped finance his expeditions.
