  	A final comment: The many Filles du Roi who married in New France, as well as the former political prisoners taken in the colonies of the future United States, had to be Catholic in order tobe married in the Church and to remain as inhabitants. I am aware of baptisms of former prisoners who renounced the protestant faith but not of Filles du Roi, because these women were sent specifically to become brides. Therefore, they had to be Catholic to participate in the program sponsored by the king. It has been shown that a great deal of care was given in selecting these women.9 Yves Landry indicates that only twelve Filles du Roi were known to have been protestant. 10 That’s about two percent of the total number —770— he identified. Only two of these twelve abjured their protestant faith in the New World: Catherine Basset, 16 Oct 1667,married 17 October 1667; and Marthe Quitel, abjured 17 July 1665, married 22 September 1665.The other ten are recorded as having been baptized protestant, most of these baptized at the protestant temple in La Rochelle: Marguerite Ardion; Catherine Barré; Madeleine Delaunay; Elisabeth Doucinet; Anne Javelot; Marie Léonard; Anne Lépine; Barb Ménard; Marie Targer; Marie Valade. Where these ten women accepted Catholicism is unknown, but it may have happened in France. http://habitantheritage.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Adult_Confirmations_and_Conversions_2014_-_Suzanne.84181244.pdf

  	The filles du roi, or King's Daughters, were some 770 women who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) between 1663 and 1673, under the financial sponsorship of King Louis XIV of France. Most were single French women and many were orphans. Their transportation to Canada and settlement in the colony were paid for by the King. Some were given a royal gift of a dowry of 50 livres for their marriage to one of the many unmarried male colonists in Canada. These gifts are reflected in some of the marriage contracts entered into by the filles du roi at the time of their first marriages. The filles du roi were part of King Louis XIV's program to promote the settlement of his colony in Canada. Some 737 of these women married and the resultant population explosion gave rise to the success of the colony. Most of the millions of people of French Canadian descent today, both in Quebec and the rest of Canada and the USA (and beyond!), are descendants of one or more of these courageous women of the 17th century.
