Controversy
As with any historical subject, the record of Jacques Cartier's life is subject to discrepancies and contradictions. For example, some sources give credit to Jean-Francois de la Roque de Roberval (who sailed with Cartier on the third voyage) for building the settlement of Charlesbourg-Royal, while other sources credit Cartier with building the colony.The Library of Congress: Attempts at Colonization in the 16th Century Pathfinders and Passageways: Jacques Cartier: New Land for the French King Some historians also claim that Cartier had sailed before his first official voyage in 1534, perhaps sailing with Giovanni da Verrazzano. However, his voyage in 1534 was his first time in charge, sailing under orders from King Francis I of France.The Canadian Museum of Civilization: To the New Lands -
