Helene Boullé


Hélène Boullé was the wife of Samuel de Champlain at age thirteen, while he was 44, 30 year difference. She was given in marriage to Samuel at age 13, but needed two years of lapse before the cohabitation of the couple, as stated by their marriage contract. Helene's father was Nicolas Boullé, who was the Lord Chamberlain of France. After de Champlain's death in December 1635, Hélène became an Ursuline nun.
The Zec Boullé and Saint Helen's Island are all named after her.
