Battle of Quebec (1690)

1690 battle of King William's War

The Battle of Quebec was fought in October 1690 between the colonies of New France and Massachusetts Bay, then ruled by the kingdoms of France and England, respectively. It was the first time Quebec City's defences were tested. Following the capture of Port Royal in Acadia, during King William's War, the New Englanders hoped to seize Quebec City itself, the capital of New France.
