Marie-Joseph Angélique
Marie-Joseph Angélique (commonly known as Angélique; died June 21, 1734) was the name given by the French authorities to a Portuguese-born black slave in New France (later the Province of Quebec in Canada). She was tried and convicted of setting fire to her owner's home, burning much of what is now referred to as old Montreal.
