1691 CE

The Quebec expedition is the last major English offensive of King William’s War; for the remainder of the war the English colonists will be reduced to defensive operations and skirmishes.

The French attack the English-held coast, recapturing Port Royal.

Joseph Robineau de Villebon, one of Meneval's assistants, returns to Port Royal from France.

Reestablishing French rule in Acadia, he is made governor here, a position he will hold until his death in 1700.
