Brothers in Arms: The Le Moyne Family and The Atlantic

Attend the lecture Brothers in Arms: The Le Moyne Family and The Atlantic presented by the Société historique de Montréal at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum.

Historian Michael J. Davis will introduce you to the history of the first generation of the Le Moyne family, and its role in empire-building in the French Atlantic world in the late 27th and early 28th centuries.

“From 1685 to 1745, the lives and careers of the 13 children of Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil and Catherine Thierry Primot were profoundly influenced by the emergence of a French empire. The Le Moyne brothers, taking up arms in the navy, made their way throughout the Atlantic world, building a vast personal network that linked several colonial enclaves through business, family, patronage, and service relationships.”

Please note that the lecture is in French.

N.B.: Schedules and more details can be found directly on the company's website.
