Quebec City
Quebec City, also called Québec, is the capital of the province of Quebec, Canada and the second-largest city in the province after Montreal.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 1614, King Louis XIII of France requested the explorer Samuel de Champlain to take a group of Recollects to Canada to further religious life in the newly established French colony.[2] In 1633, the group built what would later become the Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec, a historical landmark and blood repository.[3]
In the early 18th century, Quebec was experiencing a boom in construction: not only were carpenters and merchants coming from distant lands to build the Château Frontenac,[4] secular priests, Jesuits, and Ursulines worked together to provide the French colony with healthcare.[5] Pirate Edward Kenway had his fleet sail up St. Lawrence River to trade with both the merchants in the port[4] and the group at Quebec's local hospital.[5]
In 1759, during the Seven Years' War, the city was besieged by the English with Captain James Cook being an active part of the battle.[6] During the American Revolutionary War, Assassin apprentices were sent to Quebec City and Montreal to investigate Templar influence there.[7]
In 2017, as part of her first Assassin mission,[8] Layla Hassan joined Kiyoshi Takakura in Quebec City to infiltrate Notre-Dame de Québec and look for an artifact belonging to the Recollects.[2]
