Augustin de Saffray de Mésy
Augustin de Saffray de Mésy (1598-1665) was the first Governor General of New France in 1663 after Louis XIV took over the administration of New France from the Compagnie des Cent-Associés.
Verify little is known of Mésy, but he served as town major in charge of the château in Caen. He developed a tense relationship with François de Laval during his tenure and died in Quebec in 1665.
