(1712-1759)
general
Born in the Château de Candiac, near Nîmes, Louis Joseph, marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Véran, as commander of French forces in canada in 1756, took several forts from the British (oswego, 1756; William Henry, 1757). He was mortally wounded, however, on the Plains of Abraham as he tried to defend Quebec from a British attack during the seven years' war. The subsequent fall of Quebec (1759), then of Montreal (1760) led to the ceding of all New France (Canada) to Great Britain (Treaty of Paris, 1763).
