The seigneurial system of New France played a central role in the formative years of the North American French colonies, as it provided the systematic framework of settlement in the Canadian countryside. This essay will discuss as well as critically analyze the issues surrounding the subject of “the seigneurial system.” The primary source is an 1844 sketch by J.P. Reneault Blanchard of the seigneurie of Saint-Hyacinthe located in New France. Although the seigneurial system was suitable to New France during its in the colonies’ developmental years (Trudel 20), there were faults within the system that created disadvantages which affected the economy and society.

Southern France became a hotbed of heretical beliefs in the twelfth century. The church began to try and bring Southern France back under its control and eradicate heresy first with debates, intended to show the heretics their errors theologically and then produce a confession.
