The Massachusetts Bay Colony (est. 1629) began as a Chartered Colony under the control of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Started as a refuge for Puritans by John Winthrop and other influential Puritan Businessmen, the colony eventually grew into present-day Boston. In 1691 the Company lost control of the Colony and it was written a new Royal Charter under the direct control of King William and Queen Mary, thus becoming a Royal Colony.

It was a corporate colony meaning it was a joint stock company so people in England could make money, but the King declared it royal in 1691 when it was getting out of hand and the people were disobeying the laws.
