Governor General of New France
Governor General of New France was the vice-regal post in New France from 1663 until 1760 and the last French vice-regal post. It replaced the post of Governor of New France, and was replaced by the British post of Governor of the Province of Quebec following the fall of New France.
In 1663, New France was reformed to be under the rule of a Governor General. This was a nobleman serving as the king's personal representative, with power to command troops and oversee diplomacy. Domestic power was delegated to the Sovereign Council of New France, which the Governor General chaired, and to the Intendant of New France, a civil administrator.
While the districts of Montreal and Trois-Rivières had their own governors, the Governor of the District of Quebec City and the Governor General of New France were the same person.
