William Alexander (the younger)

It was on the site of Charles Fort that the returning French in 1632 built their second settlement known by the name of Port-Royal.

For many years the site of Alexander's settlement, known as Charles Fort or Scots Fort, was thought to be on the hillside overlooking the Habitation. This site, marked by a stone monument and brass plaque, was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1951.^[3] The plaque has been removed and relocated as the actual site of Charles Fort has been established through archaeological evidence at Annapolis Royal; lying beneath Fort Anne.^[4][5]
