    -Name: André-Hercule de Fleury, Bishop of Fréjus
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Genre: m
    Agent: Catholic Priest/Minister
    Faction: France
    Date_Birth: 1700
    Date_Dead: 1743
    Notes: French cardinal who served as the chief minister of Louis XV (1726-43). In 1726 he fixed the standard of the currency and secured French credit by initiating regular payment of interest on the national debt, with the result that in 1738/39 there was a surplus of 15,000,000 livres instead of the usual deficit. Fleury's stringencies were enforced through the contrôleur général des finances Philibert Orry (who remained in office until 1745). By exacting forced labor from the peasants (see corvée) he improved France's roads, though at the cost of rousing angry discontent. During the seventeen years of his orderly government, the country found time to recuperate its forces after the exhaustion caused by the ambitions of Louis XIV and extravagances of the regent, and national prosperity increased. Social peace was seriously disturbed by the severities which Fleury exercised against the Jansenists. He was one of the minority of French bishops who published Clement XI's bull Unigenitus and imprisoned priests who refused to accept it, and he met the Jansenist opposition of the Parlement of Paris by exiling forty of its members to a "gilded cage" not far from Paris.

In 1747, after a brave defence, he was defeated in the Battle of Cape Finisterre by George Anson.

The opposite was true of his naval career where his twenty-nine campaigns and nine combats showed a man of great courage.

    Genre: m
    Agent: Minister/Admiral
    Faction: France
    Date_Birth: 1753
    Date_Dead: 1770
    Notes: Governor of French Louisiana (1753-1763). Kerlerec, a naval officer originally from Quimper, France with twenty-five years of service, was chosen to replace him. Kerlerec's administration suffered due to lack of support from the French government, which was immersed in the French and Indian War. Kerlerec took precautions to defend the colony from a possible British attack by erecting a palisade around New Orleans, rebuilding the battery at English Turn and anchoring an old ship at the mouth of the Mississippi which could be sunk to keep out any English ships which tried to enter. However, Kerlerec's request for more troops went unanswered, and Kerlerec tightened his discipline over the troops already stationed in the colony. During his governorship, relations between the Jesuit and the Capuchin orders in the colony were strained, and the local Indian tribes threatened to switch allegiances to the British if they were not provided with more supplies and merchandise. After a few years of not receiving communications or supplies from France, the colony learned that Louisiana had been handed over to the Spanish as a result of the French and Indian War. After many public quarrels with the Commissary-Commissioner, who accused Kerlerec of stealing money from the colony's treasury and acting as a dictator, Kerlerec was recalled to France and thrown into prison in 1763. He was exiled from Paris in 1769 but was exonerated a year later. Kerlerec then returned to Paris where he died in 1770.

    Notes: Prime Minister of France (1723-6). Grandson of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan through his legitimised daughter Louise-Françoise de Bourbon. He argued with both the Regent and his most influential minister, Cardinal Dubois, in favour of severe measures against the Protestants. They rejected his ideas. When Bourbon came to be Prime Minister, however, the bishop found in him a more receptive audience, and he was given the go-ahead to draw up a general law against heresy.

    Notes:
    Duquesne served from 1752 through 1755, and is best known for his role in the French and Indian War. In 1758 Fort Duquesne, established at the headwaters of the Ohio River at what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, finally fell to the British. Fort Pitt replaced it. After the English were defeated by the French at Yorktown, the city became the American city of Pittsburgh. He was very aggressive in enforcing French presence in the present-day Quebec region, by some accounts even clearing out English settlers.[citation needed] He built a line of defensive fortifications to strengthen the French presence. He died in 1778 in Antony, Hauts-de-Seine.

La Galissonière was extremely cautious and was rewarded by a British withdrawal. Byng was court-martialed and executed. The modest naval victory over the British was lauded in France to the point that the king was said to be preparing a marshal's baton for La Galissonière's return. However, the naval commander died from illness, aged 63, prior to their meeting.

La Galissonière was extremely cautious and was rewarded by a British withdrawal. Byng was court-martialed and executed.

In 1747, after a brave defence, he was defeated in the Battle of Cape Finisterre by George Anson.

The opposite was true of his naval career where his twenty-nine campaigns and nine combats showed a man of great courage.

After the English were defeated by the French at Yorktown, the city became the American city of Pittsburgh. He was very aggressive in enforcing French presence in the present-day Quebec region, by some accounts even clearing out English settlers.[citation needed] He built a line of defensive fortifications to strengthen the French presence. He died in 1778 in Antony, Hauts-de-Seine.

    Name: Louis Billouart, Chevalier de Kerlerec
    Genre:
    m
    Agent: Minister/Admiral
    Faction: France
    Date_Birth: 1753
    Date_Dead: 1770
    Notes: Governor of French Louisiana (1753-1763). Kerlerec, a naval officer originally from Quimper, France with twenty-five years of service, was chosen to replace him. Kerlerec's administration suffered due to lack of support from the French government, which was immersed in the French and Indian War. Kerlerec took precautions to defend the colony from a possible British attack by erecting a palisade around New Orleans, rebuilding the battery at English Turn and anchoring an old ship at the mouth of the Mississippi which could be sunk to keep out any English ships which tried to enter. However, Kerlerec's request for more troops went unanswered, and Kerlerec tightened his discipline over the troops already stationed in the colony. During his governorship, relations between the Jesuit and the Capuchin orders in the colony were strained, and the local Indian tribes threatened to switch allegiances to the British if they were not provided with more supplies and merchandise. After a few years of not receiving communications or supplies from France, the colony learned that Louisiana had been handed over to the Spanish as a result of the French and Indian War. After many public quarrels with the Commissary-Commissioner, who accused Kerlerec of stealing money from the colony's treasury and acting as a dictator, Kerlerec was recalled to France and thrown into prison in 1763. He was exiled from Paris in 1769 but was exonerated a year later. Kerlerec then returned to Paris where he died in 1770.
