High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Charles Marie Bonaventure du Breil, Marquis de Rays (2 January 1832 29 July 1893) was a French nobleman who had ambitions of starting a great French colony in the South Pacific. He led four European expeditions to establish colonies in a place he called New France which is the island now referred to as New Ireland in the Bismark Archipelago of present day Papua New Guinea. Charles was born on the family estate Quimerc'h in Brittany, the son of Charles du Breil and Mari Prevost. As a child in 1838 he succeeded his father as marquis and spent his youth in fortune-seeking but ineffective adventures abroad: in the United States, Senegal, Madagascar, and Indo-China. He eventually returned to France, where, on 22 September 1869, he married Emilie Labat, who gave him five children, including one known son: Eugène Paul Emile. It was the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War and the readings he made of some navigators' journals that prompted de Rays to embark on further adventures for the glorification of France and the Roman Catholic Church.
