Years: 1643 - 1643

La Tour, finding allies in Massachusetts in the spring of 1643, leads a party of English mercenaries against the Acadian colony at Port Royal on August 6.

His two hundred and seventy Puritan and Huguenot troops kill three, burn a mill, slaughter cattle and seize eighteen thousand livres of furs, one third of the plunder going to La Tour and the rest to the Bostonians.

The Capuchins demand Paris send support for d'Aulnay.
