Frontenac (et Palluau), Comte de; Louis de Buade

Japanese: フロンテナク（英語表記）Frontenac (et Palluau)， Comte de; Louis de Buade

Born: May 22, 1622 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye
Died November 28, 1698. A soldier and colonial administrator in Quebec France. Prefect of New France (in office 1672-82, 89-98). He joined the army in 1635, and after serving abroad, he was appointed Prefect of New France in 1672. He had a fiery temper and clashed with local officials, which led to him being dismissed once, but he was reappointed due to his outstanding military leadership. He was skilled in negotiating with the indigenous peoples, and in 1690 he repelled a British army that attacked New France from the south, laying the foundations for the defense of New France. It is said that the reason New France, which had an overwhelmingly smaller population than the British colonies to the south, was able to withstand repeated attacks by the British until the middle of the 18th century was due to the success of Frontenac's defense organization. He was a contemporary of J. Talon and priest F. Laval, and New France was at its peak during this time.

フランスの軍人，植民地行政官。ニューフランス地方長官 (在任 1672～82，89～98) 。 1635年軍隊に入り，外地勤務を続けたのち，72年ニューフランス地方長官に任命された。気性が激しく，任地の役人たちと衝突したため1度は解任されたが，その卓越した軍事的統率力を買われて再度赴任した。先住民族との交渉に巧みで，90年にはニューフランスを南方から攻撃してきたイギリス軍を撃退し，ニューフランス防衛の基礎を築いた。南のイギリス植民地に比べ圧倒的に人口の少いニューフランスが，18世紀なかばまで再三のイギリスによる攻撃を持ちこたえたのも，フロンテナクによる防衛組織づくりの成功のゆえとされる。 J.タロンや司祭 F.ラバルと同時代人で，ニューフランスはこの頃隆盛をきわめた。
