Pierre de Chauvin de Tonnetuit : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pierre de Chauvin de Tonnetuit
Pierre de Chauvin de Tonnetuit (died February 1603) was a French naval and military captain and a lieutenant of New France, who built at Tadoussac in present day Quebec, the oldest surviving French settlement in the Americas. ==Background== Fishermen from Normandy, Britany, the Basque country, who came ashore in Acadia during the summer months to dry their fish, found that they could carry on profitable trade with the Indians, exchanging axes, knives, pots and cloth for furs. In that epoch, only the rich men in Paris could afford a beaver robe, that could be bartered for an axe or a knife. With such profits possible, many fishermen and their backers turned to the fur trade, which was not only far more profitable but also easier to carry out.〔("The First French Settlement", Province Quebec )〕 Such a lucrative trade also attracted the attention of some gentlemen of the court who had influence with the king. The king had the power to grant monopolies, the sole right to trade in certain commodities, but the monopolies were granted in return for favours rendered to the crown of France.
