Following the successful expedition to Hudson’s Bay, Charles II grants a charter on May 2, 1670, to “the Governor and Company of Adventurers in England trading in Hudson’s Bay”, thereby granting them “the sole trade and commerce” and ownership of “all the lands and territories” drained by the waters that flow into Hudson’s Bay.
The vast region, completely unexplored by Europeans, is called Rupert’s Land after the king’s cousin, Prince Rupert, a prominent shareholder in the company.
