Implement royal policies locally
Royal agents who ruled the provinces under Louis XIV were called intendants. Intendants served in both French provinces and the North American colony New France.
Louis XIV appointed intendants to strengthen royal authority and improve the efficiency of governance throughout France. These officials acted as direct representatives of the king in the provinces, overseeing various administrative functions such as tax collection, law enforcement, and public order. By utilizing intendants, Louis XIV aimed to reduce the power of local nobility and ensure that royal policies were implemented effectively across the kingdom. This centralization of power contributed to the establishment of a more absolute monarchy.
France's claim to territory in the New World was established primarily by explorer Jacques Cartier in the 1530s. His voyages led to the exploration of the St. Lawrence River and the region that would become Canada, where he claimed land for France. Cartier's expeditions laid the groundwork for further French exploration and colonization in North America, including the establishment of New France.
