Samuel de Champlain was raised in a Catholic family. As a prominent figure in early French exploration and colonization, he maintained his Catholic faith throughout his life, which was characteristic of many French settlers during that period. The Catholic Church played a significant role in the establishment of New France, influencing both Champlain's personal beliefs and his interactions with Indigenous peoples.
Yet in order to encourage the king to fight France, the Church later offered him great sums of money, larger than any given to any of Henry V's predecessors.
No, Samuel de Champlain was not a Huguenot. He was a Catholic and a loyal supporter of the French crown. While Huguenots were French Protestants who faced persecution during the Wars of Religion, Champlain's background and affiliations were aligned with the Catholic Church and the monarchy, which influenced his explorations and interactions in North America.
Samuel de Champlain married the twelve-year old Helene Boulle on December 30, 1610 in the Church of Saint-Germain I'Auxerrois which still stands in Paris facing the east end of the Louvre. It had been the parish church of King Henry IV. The documents for the marriage were signed by the King's notaries and recordkeepers. This union cemented an alliance between Champlan and administrative figures at the French Court. This marriage helped Champlain in many ways as it also connected him with financers and investors in the City of Paris, France. Everyone appeared to be happy with the marriage including the 40-year old Samuel de Champlain. There was one exception. The bride was very unhappy and was furious about her fate.
Samuel Church was born in 1785.
Samuel Church died in 1854.
"The Father of New France", was a French navigator, geographer, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, ethnologist, diplomat, chronicler, and the founder of Quebec City on July 3, 1608, of which he was the administrator for the rest of his life.In every way but name, Samuel de Champlain was Quebec City's and New France's Governor. Given the fact that Champlain did not come from the class of nobility he never would have been able to reach that title. Some say that King Henry IV made him his "royal geographer", but it is unproven and may come from Marc Lescarbot books, Champlain never claimed any title.In October 1635, Champlain was stricken with a stroke. He died on 25 December 1635 leaving no immediate heirs.However, Jesuit records tell us he died in the hands of his friend Charles Lallemant who also heard his last confession, a reassuring point for a Catholic.He was buried temporarily in the church while construction was finished on the chapel of Monsieur le Gouverneur. Unfortunately, this small building as many others was destroyed by a large fire in 1640. Though immediately rebuilt, nothing is known of it after. The exact burial site of Champlain is thus unknown.
