Penn accepted land in America in lieu of cash to cover a debt Charles III owed his father. His interest in the Quaker Faith led him to use the land grant as a sanctuary for Quakers, which had the added benefit, from Charles' point of view, of getting them out of the country. His contribution was to found the colony.
