 Intendant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intendants were royal civil servants in France under the ancien régime.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Intendants were chosen from the "noblesse de robe" (or administrative nobility) or the upper-bourgeoisie.
During the Fronde in 1648, the members of parlement of the "Chambre Saint-Louis" demanded the suppression of the Intendants; Mazarin and Anne of Austria gave in to these demands (except in the case of border provinces threatened by Spanish or Imperial attack).

In 1655, at the relatively young age of 30, he became Intendant of Hainaut — an important territory stretching across the north of France and a significant portion of Flanders (Belgium) — and occupied the post until 1665.
For example, an intendant controlled all aspects of the legal system in his territory — from lawyers and judges to the laws themselves.
The intendant would also have to be a man of unquestioned loyalty to the Crown, because he would have to represent, in Louis XIV's own words, "the eye and hand of the King.

The intendant dreamed of seeing the settlers located on their fishing grounds, attending to fishing in season and turning to lumbering or to hunting moose in the winter.
Obviously the intendant had taken offence, intervening without any reason in the internal administration of a religious association which people were free to belong to and which, besides, in no way depended upon the state.
Other intendants came to Canada, some of whom were not lacking in talent, but circumstances were no longer as favourable as they had been in the period when Louis XIV and Colbert held the destinies of the colony firmly in their hands.

One of the sisters present at the interview--Mere de la Nativite, a very bright and clever woman--was struck by the extreme distinction of manner and speech of the so-called valet, and, with a meaning glance at the superioress, told the visitor that unless she was mistaken he was more than he pretended to be.
