High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Louis Phelypeaux, marquis de Phelypeaux, comte de Maurepas , comte de Pontchartrain, known as the chancellor de Pontchartrain, was a French politician.After serving as head of the Parlement of Brittany, he held office as Controller-General of Finances and as Navy Secretary and, from 1690, Secretary of State of the Maison du Roi.Long considered a failure, his reputation has been reevaluated by recent historiography which has shown that, in a period of difficulty, he was a capable administrator of an immense department which had responsibility for the French Navy, trade, colonies, matters of religion, Paris, the royal household and for finances. He conducted a census of the population from 1693 onwards, the first since Vauban's of 1678. At court he was an opponent of Fenelon and the Quietists.
