Charles de la Tour de Saint-Étienne wanted to protect his father's possessions in the Penobscot area. It resulted in a conflict between him and d'Aulnay who was also responsible for colonizing Acadia. Desperate for allies, La Tour turned to New England where a few enterprising Bostonians were ready to offer support. After a successful raid on Port-Royal, the New Englanders withdrew their help and La Tour took refuge in Québec. After d'Aulnay's death in 1650, La Tour was exonerated from all wrong doings and was named Governor of Acadia for a second time. |
