Claude d'Abbeville

Claude d'Abbeville was a 17th-century French Franciscan friar who worked as a missionary with the Tupinambá in Maranhão, modern Brazil. He was part of a colonizing party and a mission of four Franciscans sent under a 1611 patent letter from the Regent Marie de Médicis, and was also accompanied by Father Yves D'Evreux.
