Samuel de Champlain was captured by the British during the 1628-1629 Anglo-French War, specifically during the siege of Quebec. The British sought to weaken French influence in North America and believed that capturing Champlain, a key figure in French exploration and settlement, would help achieve this goal. He was held as a prisoner for about a year before being released in a prisoner exchange, which allowed him to return to France and continue his work in the New World.
