It was a young population and very predominantly a male one in NewFrance. Some of the soldiers married the local girls of the colony.For others, there was a need for young girls to emigrate to Canada andbecome wives of these new settlers.

The authorities were careful in their selection,and tried to send to the ports of embarkation, only young honest girlsfrom good families, who were, for the most part, orphans of the poor,that were raised by the state: the reason for why they were called"les fille du Roy." The intendant of New France, Jean Talon, built hostels to house thegirls, who were cared for by the Ursuline nuns until they foundhusbands.

Toencourage this, after the arrival of the immigrant ships, bachelors inthe colony were forbidden to go hunting or fishing or engage in thefur trade until all the King's daughters were married.

NOTES (1) Les Filles du Roy (The King's Daughters)

It was a young population and very predominantly a male one in New France. Some of the soldiers married the local girls of the colony. For others, there was a need for young girls to emigrate to Canada and become wives of these new settlers. The authorities in France encouraged emigration of young women to Canada by paying for their ocean transportation; providing them with some articles in a small chest: one head dress, one taffeta handkerchief, one pair of shoe ribbons, one hundred sewing needles, one comb, one spool of thread, one pair of stockings, one pair of gloves, one pair of scissors, two knives, one thousand pins, one bonnet, four lace braids, and two pounds in silver money; and a dowry of 50 livres from the King if they married a soldier. The authorities were careful in their selection, and tried to send to the ports of embarkation, only young honest girls from good families, who were, for the most part, orphans of the poor, that were raised by the state: the reason for why they were called "les fille du Roy." The intendant of New France, Jean Talon, built hostels to house the girls, who were cared for by the Ursuline nuns until they found husbands. The aim was to get the girls married as quickly as possible. To encourage this, after the arrival of the immigrant ships, bachelors in the colony were forbidden to go hunting or fishing or engage in the fur trade until all the King's daughters were married. The filles du Roy were courageous, adventurous, daring spirits, who saw New France as a means of escaping the depressing future that would be their lot in France because of their relative poverty. The majority of them were from the larger towns of France, and the adaption to the primitive living conditions of the wilderness in the New World, must have been extremely difficult. Françoise Bourgeois became one of the King's Daughters and began her new life as the wife of one of the former soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment, Paul Vigneault dit Laverdure.
