1642 CE

D'Aulnay had returned to France in the early winter of 1641 to obtain additional power, and La Tour had sought the aid of his New England neighbors.

As a result of negotiations with the New England governor, a body of Boston merchants had made a visit to Fort La Tour for purposes of trade, and while at sea, on their return, met d'Aulnay himself, who informed them that La Tour was a rebel, and showed them a confirmation of the order issued the year before for his arrest.

D'Aulnay lays siege to Fort La Tour wth five hundred men in armed ships, but aid comes from New England, and he is driven away.
