[edit]This page is absurdly biased. It makes no mention of Vaudreuil's corruption, his administrative incompetance, or military meddling.
- Are you sure you are not mixing him up with the intendant Bigot? -- Mathieugp 23:12, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
A few problems came up during merging these articles:
- Was he born in Montreal or Quebec City?
- Did he die on October 20, 1765 or August 4, 1778?
- Is his name de Cavagnal or de Rigaud or both? Rmhermen 16:11, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
After a quick verification
[edit]I looked up three different sources. (see below)
- The sources I looked up all indicated Quebec City. Not sure where the reference to Montreal comes from. Maybe worth looking.
- The same sources indicate August 4, 1778, in Paris.
- The same sources indicate both names.
In the Historica Canadian Encyclopedia:
"Vaudreuil, Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil de Cavagnial, Marquis de (sometimes Vaudreuil-Cavagnial), officer, last governor general of New France 1755-60 (b at Québec C 22 Nov 1698; d at Paris, France 4 Aug 1778), son of Philippe de Rigaud de VAUDREUIL"
In his biography at CyberAcadie:
