Governor General of New France explained

Governor General of New France was the vice-regal post in New France from 1663 until 1760 and the last French vice-regal post. It was replaced by the British post of Governor of the Province of Quebec following the fall of New France. While the districts of Montreal and Trois-Rivières had their own governors, the Governor of the District of Quebec City and the Governor General of New France were the same person. His role was to serve and represent the king in New France.
