During Jacques Cartier's time, King Francis I (François I) was the King of France. His reign lasted from 1515 to 1547.

Cartier's expeditions took place between 1534 and 1542, during which he explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence and laid the foundation for France's claim to territories in North America.
