d'Auger de Subercase was baptised a Protestant, served about 10 years in the land forces before joining the navy and sailed for Québec in 1687 to be named lieutenant-commander, garrison adjutant and adjutant general. Subercase was then appointed as governor of Plaisance on April 1, 1702 but did not arrive at his post until 1703.
d'Auger de Subercase attacked Ferryland on fears of an attack on Plaisance. The French had also captured Bay Bulls and Petty Harbour in January 1705 and then marched on St. John's. Unable to subdue the fort they set out to destroying settlements in Conception Bay and Trinity Bay.
Subercase became the governor of Acadia in April 1706 and in 1710 Subercase surrendered Port-Royal to the British.
