The seigniory of Montarville , in News-France, was conceded with Pierre Boucher of Boucherville in 1710 following a decree of Louis XIV. Jacques Raudot, which controlled the News-France at the time, gives the seigniory in the name of the king to him.
To stop conceded then the seigniory with his/her son junior, Rene Boucher of Bruère (1669-1773) the January 15th 1732. After the death of this last, its widow yielded the rights to a third lord, Pierre Rene (1740-1794). The children of the Rene lord share the seigniory of Montarville to its death; when his/her oldest daughter married Eustace-Ignace Trottier of the Beaubien Rivers, in 1796, this one became the coseignor of Montarville.
The Butcher families of Bruère and Beaubien share the seigniory in third and sixth until François-Pierre Bruneau becomes the only lord of the stronghold of Montarville in 1842. With died of Bruneau, his/her brother Olivier-Theophilus Bruneau becomes in 1851 the last lord of Montarville. The Rapport Durham had recommended in 1840 the abolition of the system seigneurial and the development of municipal structures, but it is only at the end of the XIXe century that the last Québécois seigniory disappeared.
