APPENDIX. 455 



who would not do as he wished. The king said to him. ' My 

 boy, you are a musketeer, but you speak like a general.' " Long 

 after, when the Dauphin was in his fourteenth year, the follow- 

 ing entry occurs in the physician's diary : — 



St. Germain, Sunday, 22d {July, 1614). " He (the Dauphin) 

 goes to the chapel of the terrace, then mounts his horse and goes 

 to find M. de Souvre and M. de Frontenac, whom he surprises 

 as they were at breakfast at the small house near the quarries. 

 At half past one, he mounts again, in hunting boots ; goes to the 

 park with M. de Frontenac as a guide, chases a stag, and 

 catches him. It was his first stag-hunt." 



Of Henri de Buade, father of the governor of Canada, but 

 little is recorded. When in Paris, he lived, like his son after 

 him, on the Quai des Celestins, in the parish of St. Paul. His 

 son, Count Frontenac, was born in 1620, seven years after his 

 father's marriage. Apparently his birth took place elsewhere 

 than in Paris, for it is not recorded with those of Henri de 

 Buade' s other children, on the register of St. Paul (Jal, Diction-

 Tallemant des Reaux concerning his marriage (see page 6) 

 seems to be mainly true. Colonel Jal says : " On conc,oit que 

 j'ai pu etre tente de connaitre ce qu'il y a de vrai dans les recits 

 de Saint- Simon et de Tallemant des Reaux ; voici ce qu'apres 

 bien des recherches, j'ai pu apprendre. M". e La Grange fit, en 

 effet, un mariage a demi secret. Ce ne fut point a sa paroisse 

 que fut benie son union avec M. de Frontenac, mais dans une 

 des petites eglises de la Cite qui avaient le privilege de recevoir 

 les amants qui s'unissaient malgre leurs parents, et ceux qui 

 regularisaient leur position et s'epousaient un peu avant — quel- 

 quefois apres — la naissance d'un enfant. Ce fut a St. Pierre- 

 aux-Boeufs que, le mercredy, 28 Octobre, 1648, ' Messire Louis 

 de Buade, Chevalier, comte de Frontenac, conseiller du Roy en 

 ses conseils, mareschal des camps et armees de S. M., et maistre 

 de camp du regiment du Normandie,' epousa ' demoiselle Anne
