ACADIAN EMIGRATION TO ILE ROYALE (CAPE BRETON), 1713-1734
The arrival of Richard Philipps as a new governor of Nova Scotia was the prelude to the departure of the fifth group of Acadians. In April,1720 a proclamation was issued by him to have the Acadians finally take the oath of allegiance to George I within four months, under pain of forced removal from the Province. As a result of this confrontation nine families left Acadia and settled in Cape Breton.
