To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They werein close alliance with Laval and supported the ideal and divine rightsof the Church. They had found strong friends in Champlain andMontmagny. Frontenac, however, was a layman of another type. Howeverorthodox his religious ideas may have been, his heart was not lowly andhis temper was not devout. Intensely autocratic by disposition, hefound it easy to identify his own will to power with a defence {58} ofroyal prerogative against the encroachments of the Church. It was anattitude that co...uld not fail to beget trouble, for the Ultramontaneshad weapons of defence which they well knew how to use.
Having in view these ulterior motives, the acrimony of Frontenac'squarrel with Laval is not surprising. Rightly or wrongly, the governorheld that the bishop was subservient to the Jesuits, while Colbert'splain instructions required the governor to keep the Jesuits in check. From such a starting-point the further developments were almostautomatic. Laval found on his return that Frontenac had exacted fromthe clergy unusual and excessive honours during church services.
