The Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Perade was located on the north shore of St. Lawrence river, between Trois-Rivières and Quebec City in the province of Quebec, Canada. The southern front of the manor was on the edge of St. Lawrence river. The depth of the lordship was heading north, parallel to the Lordship of Batiscan (on West side). The northern boundary of the Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Perade stopped at the north-western boundary of St. Joseph row, in Sainte-Thècle. In comparison, the lordship of Batiscan spanned 20 "lieues",〔A "lieue" is an old unit of length formerly used in Europe and Americas. A "lieue" was a unit of length equal to the distance that a man can go on foot in an hour. For example, the former "lieue" in Paris (before 1674) is , or .〕 beyond the Saint-Maurice River. The western boundary of the manor cut the Batiscan river at the rapids of Manitou, between Saint-Adelphe and Saint-Stanislas. The estates of the north shore of St. Lawrence river fell within the stately administrative division of Trois-Rivières. The Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade was divided into two areas: 1. Western half of the lordship was located between the Lordship of Sainte-Marie, the Lordship of Batiscan (west) and the eastern half of the Lordship of Saint-Anne-de-la-Pérade; 2. Eastern half of the lordship skirted the Western half. Both territories were included mainly in the municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, in the MRC Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Mauricie. Established in 1627 in New France and abolished in 1854, the feudal system allowed the state to divide the territory into fiefs and lordships to sustain the momentum of colonization. This stately institution allowed the distribution and land use by controlling the development. In each fiefs or manors, lords attributed by〔Deeds stipulated the rights and obligations of each party〕 lots to the highest bidder settlers (charging system). These could lease them back to other settlers. The person was granted by the State territory became lord. The concession contract required him to be operating his lordship. The seigneurial system is based on the feudal system that subjected the census (referred to as "habitant" in New France) to the Lord. Based on the principle of entrepreneurship, the seigneurial system stimulated colonization efforts. ==Toponymy== The name "Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade" takes its name from the Sainte-Anne River which flows into the St. Lawrence river (North shore) at the height of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, located about east of Trois-Rivières. From its source at Lake Anne (in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve), the Sainte-Anne River follows a path of about . The river crosses the municipalities of Saint-Alban, Quebec of Saint-Casimir and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade. In 1609, the river was named "Sante-Marie" by Samuel de Champlain, without emitting pattern. He repeated the same name in his book from 1632, titled "Les Voyages de la Nouvelle-France occidentale dite Canada" (The Travels of the New France Western called Canada). While the map drawn about 1641 by Jean Bourdon which describes the course of St. Lawrence river, between Tadoussac and Montreal means the river "R St Anne" without explanation of this original Christian toponym. Finally, the last name is required. In popular usage, the river is called "Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade" because of its mouth located in the municipality of the same name. The name "Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade" was formally recordered on February 3, 1983 in the register of place names at the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lordship of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
