Origin of the name Place-d'Armes

The current place d'Armes is actually the third location in Montreal to bear that name, a long-used French term for a place where a city's defenders assemble. The statue in Montreal's place d'Armes specifically commemorates Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve's defense of the young French settlement against the Iroquois, against whom sieur de Maisonneuve's allies the Hurons were fighting to regain land the Iroquois had conquered.
