Pierre de Troyes

TROYES, Pierre de, French soldier, born in France; died at Niagara in 1687. He had seen much service both in France and Canada, and commanded a troop of eighty men in the Hudson bay expedition of 1686. He arrived at the head of Hudson bay on 20 June, and at once laid siege to Monsipi fort, on the Monsoni river, which he finally carried by assault. He held a command of regulars in Denonville's campaign of 1687. He was sent the same year to take charge, with 100 men, of a fort which had been erected at Niagara. But sickness attacked the garrison, which, with its commander, perished in a short time, according to Charlevoix in his "Histoire de la Nouvelle France." La Hon-tan in his "Nouveauxvoyages" (The Hague, 1703) says that some escaped. See also " Histoire de l'Amerique Septentrionale," by De la Pothdrie.
