Product Description
A groundbreaking biographical dictionary of the nearly 800 women and girls sent from France to populate Quebec between 1663 and 1673. The introduction explains the need for the program, compares it to similar initiatives by the English and the Spanish, dispels misconceptions about Filles du Roi and gives a history of the program in Canada. After defining who can be considered a Filles du Roi this work presents comprehensive biographies of all the "King's Daughters" including a wealth of information never before available in English. This 2-volume set also inludes biographies of women falsely identified as Filles du Roi, a glossary, a thematic index and an index of husbands.
