Bien court de Pout rin court, Jean de, Baron de Saint Just

(1557-1615). Had won distinction as a soldier in the service of France; and in 1604 sailed with De Monts and Cham plain to Acadia. Was so charmed with Port Royal that he determined to make it his home. De Monts made him a grant of the lands about Anna polis Basin, which the king confirmed. Went back to France and brought out his family to the new settlement. Accompanied Cham plain in his exploration of the Bay of Fundy. Jesuit mi ionaries were sent out to Port Royal, whom Pout rin court, although a good Roman Catholic, found far from congenial. Their relations became more and more strained, and when Pout rin court sailed to France in 1613, the Jesuits succeeded in having him thrown into prison. Regained his liberty and returned to Acadia, but found Port Royal in ashes. Returned to France and fell in the attack on Méry.
