During Jacques Cartier's time, King Francis I (François I) was the King of France. His reign lasted from 1515 to 1547. Francis I was known for his patronage of the arts and exploration, and he commissioned Jacques Cartier's voyages to the New World, specifically to explore the lands that would eventually be part of Canada. 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.
