Noël Patrocles de Thoisy

Noël Patrocles, seigneur de Thoisy (or Noel Patrocle; died 1671) was an early governor general of the French Antilles. He was appointed by the infant king Louis XIV of France during the regency of Anne of Austria at a time when the colonies were owned by the Company of the American Islands. His predecessor refused to recognise his appointment, forcefully prevented him from taking office on Saint Christopher Island, and eventually had him arrested and returned to France. In the aftermath the discredited company sold the islands to their local governors and was dissolved.
