TRADITION | L'Anéen, jeu chevaleresque en hommage à la bravoure d’habitants de Valenciennes ➽ http://bit.ly/Aneen-Valenciennes C’est suite à l’acte héroïque de courageux habitants de Valenciennes qui étaient parvenus à appréhender Van Een, brigand flamand saccageant et violant, que fut créée la compagnie à cheval des Puchots, en l’honneur de laquelle fut bientôt instituée une fête mettant en scène le mannequin Anéen, guerrier colossal tournant sur un pivot et cible de tous les coups
"Between 1672 and 1681, no fewer than seven regulations of royal origin, plus twenty more of local origin, were issued in an attempt to rein in the coureurs de bois. They were backed up by threats of death, whipping, galley slavery, fines, and confiscation, yet their only effect was to exacerbate the phenomenon. The denunciatory fever running through the administrative correspondence culminated in 1679–80 with Intendant Jacques Duchesneau’s accusation that the governor preferred to ship pelts to the English, coupled with his assertion that 800 Frenchmen had lived in the woods for years while their lands, cattle, and wives had been left to fend for themselves.11 The creation of a system of licences covering voyages to the west, along with an amnesty for violators, decriminalized the interior fur trade and helped to impose discipline on the voyageurs. Moreover, Duchesneau’s recall in 1682 helped to restore a sense of proportion to the administration – for in actual fact, there had never been 800 or even 600 colonists in the Great Lakes region, the colony’s farmland was being steadily planted, its livestock were multiplying, and women were having children with their husbands. But the number matters less than the characteristics ascribed to the men designated as coureurs de bois. The phrase first appeared in the official texts in 1672 as a catchall for all sorts of individuals: former engagés of no fixed address; criminals who took advantage of the Indigenous people; young Montrealers who intercepted furs bound for the fairs…
…
What strikes the reader of the correspondence from these years is the scarcity of specific references to the colonial forces that were, in principle, there to signify the power of the king’s arms to the Indigenous peoples. In 1667, Intendant Jean Talon wrote that the peoples of Canada, being “naturally warlike,” would quickly form a nursery of soldiers capable of defending both the southern and northern colonies of the Americas. But after the royal instructions of 1669 to form the habitants into companies and prepare them for war, the administration tended to avoid the subject. The governors’ loud calls for deployment of regulars were tantamount to an admission that they did not trust the colonists; being personally responsible for their military training, however, it would have been bad form to stress the point. Instead, they wrote of the habitants’ negligence in obtaining guns, thus diverting attention away from more fundamental problems, such as the lack of officers in the côtes to train soldiers. When Frontenac wrote in 1673 that he had “begun” to raise a colonial militia in anticipation of a Dutch attack on Quebec, one might have expected a pointed reaction from Versailles: Why had the militarization program been delayed so long?
....
….the militia still accounted for only one part of the colonial armies, which also included the regulars, the domiciliés and Indigenous allies, and sometimes, as in 1687, a battalion of volunteers from the Great Lakes region. The 142 soldiers who took part in the expedition of 1684 and the 843 enumerated in the army of 1687 had just arrived in the colony. Having been recruited in the weeks and months preceding embarkation, they possessed little more military experience than the majority of the colonists. For both groups, the voyage into Iroquois territory proved a nightmare. Very few, most certainly not including the Quebec militiamen, knew how to steer a canoe through rapids; they came in for constant dunkings as a result of their clumsiness, caught fevers, and lost guns and supplies whenever their boats capsized. The losses were so great that the general staff became accustomed to entrusting the king’s supplies to experienced, well-paid canoeists. Transportation between Montreal, Fort Frontenac, and the other Great Lakes forts accounted for a large share of the extraordinary expenses incurred by the colonial wars. Another consequence of this practice was to deprive the militia of its most capable men, the ones from Montreal and environs, who would always arrange to be exempted in order to work on the convoys. To avoid drowning, inept canoeists stayed close to the forested bank where the enemy might well lie in ambush. Fear set in as soon as Lake St Louis was crossed. The campaign of 1684 was marred by an illness that put half the militia out of commission and killed eighty, as well as by a shortage of provisions, and both of these eventualities were to recur."

du métro souterrain, là où l'on voit plus que partout ailleurs les gens, leur regard, leur posture, leur tenue, leur coutume souvent jusqu'à l'intime, se met en scène superbement le peuple des villes parce qu'ici les gens à eux seuls la définissent, puisque le reste de la ville échappe ; ici l’urbain est comme amplifié par son invisibilité
