Joseph - François Hertel de la Fresnière Joseph - François Hertel de la Fresnière ( baptised 3 July 1642 - buried 22 May 1722 ) was a military officer of New France . Born in Trois - Rivières when it was a small frontier town , he grew up with the constant threat of military action against the Iroquois . Captured by the Iroquois in 1661 , he was adopted by an old Iroquois woman , and spent as long as two years among them , learning their language and ways . He managed to escape and make his way home , where his family had thought him dead . He participated in numerous expeditions against the Iroquois , and assisted in the construction of Fort Frontenac . He was briefly imprisoned by French authorities on allegations of illegal fur trade in 1678 . Upon the outbreak of King William ' s War in 1689 , he was chosen by Governor Frontenac to lead an expedition in 1690 that successfully raided Salmon Falls on the Maine - New Hampshire border , and then contributed to the successful destruction of a settlement on Falmouth Neck ( site of present - day Portland , Maine ) . Upon his return to Canada , he participated in the defense of Quebec when it was attacked by New England colonists under Sir William Phips . He married in 1664 , and had many children . Some of his sons , most famously Jean - Baptiste Hertel de Rouville , followed him into military service , and the name Hertel became notorious in the English colonies because of their exploits . In 1716 , after many years of requests by New France ' s governors on his behalf , he was elevated to local nobility .
Tzachas Tzachas ( , " Tzachas " ) , also known as Chaka Bey ( ) or Emir Chaka of Smyrna , was an 11th - century Seljuk Turk ish military commander who ruled an independent state based in Smyrna ( present day Izmir ) . Tzachas was taken as a prisoner during a war with the Byzantine Empire by Emperor Nikephoros III Botaneiates . The emperor took an interest in the youth and brought him to live in the palace . He was granted the title of " protonobilissimus " . After Alexios I Komnenos became the Byzantine Emperor in 1081 , Tzachas returned to Anatolia and began a war against the Byzantines . Intent upon expanding his power , he ordered the construction of a fleet at the shipyards of Smyrna and Ephesus . This fleet , which consisted of 33 sail ships and 17 oar ships , was the first Anatolian Turkish navy . The fleet of Tzachas conquered Lesbos ( 1089 ) and Chios ( 1090 ) , before defeating the Byzantine fleet under Niketas Kastamonites near the Koyun Islands off Chios on 19 May 1090 . In 1091 , his fleet conquered the islands of Samos and Rhodes , but also suffered a crushing defeat in the Sea of Marmara to Byzantine admiral Constantine Dalassenos , undoing much of his previous successes . Dalassenos and John Doukas then defeated Tzachas again in 1092 , destroyed his fleet and recovered all the islands he had captured . According to Byzantine sources , Tzachas was murdered in 1092 by his son - in - law Kilij Arslan I . However , his name appears in later dates , such as a campaign against the strategic port city of Adramyttium ( modern day Edremit ) in 1095 , where , according to these sources , he died . Some historians indicate that it was in fact his son who was appointed by Kilij Arslan to take his post . At any rate , after Tzachas ' s death , his " beylik " disappeared from history . The Byzantines would soon liberate the area under the leadership of Alexios I Komnenos , and it would take the Seljuks more than two centuries to reach the Aegean coast again .
