	In every way but name, Samuel de Champlain was Quebec City's Governor. However, given the fact that Champlain did not come from the class of [[nobility]], he would never be able to reach that title; however, he acted as 'lieutenant' and adjunct representative to the, one after the other, designated Viceroy of New France, as first [[Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts|Pierre Dugua de Mons]], any of them having never stepped foot in Quebec City. It was Champlain's successor, [[Charles Jacques Huault de Montmagny]], who was named as New France's and Quebec City's first Governor in title in 1636, and the first noble to live there in that century.
