Lieutenant General of New France
- Lieutenant General of New France
Lieutenant General of New France was the military post that governed early New France (and Acadia) from 1603 until 1627. Before 1603, two holders served the post briefly from 1541 to 1603 and vacant from 1543 to 1598. It was replaced by the title of Governor of New France in 1627. It was the first vice-regal post in what would later become Canada, and is a precursor of the present-day office of Governor General of Canada, the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, Canada's Head of State.
