René-Louis Chartier de Lotbinière

René-Louis Chartier de Lotbinière (French pronunciation: [ʁəne lwi ʃaʁtje də lɔtbinjɛʁ]; 1641–1709) was a French-Canadian Poet, 1st Seigneur de Lotbinière in New France (1672), Judge of the Provost and Admiralty Courts and Chief Councillor of the Sovereign Council of New France.

In 1651, at the age of ten, he arrived with his parents in New France, and was educated at the Jesuit's College in Quebec City.

[a] Two years later his name was put forward by the Compagnie des Indes Occidentales and appointed a Councillor of the Sovereign Council of New France.

In stark contrast to his father, he held this position to the great satisfaction of his peers, yet again drawing the praise of Louis XIV of France for his honesty and competence.

After his father returned to France in 1679, they lived at his old house, Maison Lotbinière in Quebec, where all his children were born and where he died.
