From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Assacumbuit, (c.1660–1727; many variant spellings, including Escumbuit, Nescambiouit and Nescambious), was a Native American leader of the Maliseet tribe of the Abenaki who was knighted by Louis XIV of France in 1706.

Transcription

King William's War

During King William's War, he was first associated with the French in the siege of Fort St. John led by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in 1696-1697 during the Avalon Peninsula Campaign. Even after the war was officially ended, Abenaki raids on the English colonists continued. On March 4, 1698 Maliseet Abenaki Chief Escumbuit led a group of 30 Native Americans in an attack on Andover, Massachusetts, the last and most severe Native attack on this town.

Queen Anne's War

During Queen Anne's War, he participated in the Northeast Coast Campaign. In early 1705 he was again in Newfoundland, where he participated in the Siege of St. John's and other French and Native American attacks against English colonial holdings.[1] Later that year he was invited to France as part of France's bid for an alliance with his tribe. He returned to America in 1706.[2] He fought in the 1708 Raid on Haverhill.

Fearsome reputation

His reputation among the English colonists of New England was notorious—they called him a "bloody devil", and accused him of killing many women and children.[1]
