Yvon Gaston Delsarte (August 6, 1563-May 28, 1639) was the first Grandmaster of Quebecshire from 1624-1639. He was born in Quebecshire City to the reasonably wealthy Delsarte Family, and had an upbringing around the higher class culture in the city. In his teenage years, he travelled with his father to the Franconian regions of Quebecshire and acquired a cyan Vieroche Crystal.
His family were often outspoken critics of the Congress of the Cantons and the federalized system in Quebecshire, and Delsarte, despite becoming popular in the area due to his encouragement of philanthropy frequently declined requests and calls to run for office.
In 1607 the Quebecshirite Civil War broke out. Siding with the Monarchists, a young Delsarte became prominent in their leadership alongside Ronald Bernier and Lambert Lafayette. Delsarte became the public face of the Monarchist movement and directed Monarchist forces on several occasions and was effectively seen as their leader. During this time, he dealt with the loss of his colleague and friend Lambert Lafayette at the Battle of Anticosti in 1618.
Once the war grew to a stalemate in 1623, Delsarte began the historic Orléans Negotiations alongside Arsène Champlain on March 24. Despite considerable tensions, Delsarte managed to work with the Quebecshire Republican Assembly as well as Ronald Bernier and fellow Monarchist advisors. On December 17, 1623 the negotiations were announced to have concluded with the Declaration of the Establishment of a New Constitution for a Unified Quebecshirite State. Following this, Delsarte and Arsène, alongside their other delegation members and advisors took charge of the Quebecshirite National Reorganization Council to begin the creation of the modern Constitution of Quebecshire.
On September 16, 1624 Delsarte was inaugurated to the newly created position of Grandmaster of Quebecshire. During this time he assembled the first composition of the High Council of Quebecshire and presided over it. During this time he oversaw the creation of various historical and scholarly institutions in Quebecshire as Arsène focused on legislative governance. Delsarte is often credited with the creation of the modern Quebecshirite court system. Delsarte passed away on May 28, 1639 due to declining health related to heart problems. He was succeeded by Léonard Fournier, who sat on the High Council during Delsarte’s tenure. Today, there is a major museum in Quebecshire City named after him. There is also the Château Delsarte, a high-end hotel which is often used to host foreign guests. It is common for cities to have busts or statues of him as well as Arsène.
