Rupert's Land wasn't given to Prince Rupert, it was named after him. It was the territory that drained into Hudson Bay. Prince Rupert was one of the original "Company of Adventurers" who were granted a Royal Charter on May 2, 1670, creating the Hudson's Bay Company. Rupert's Land was transferred from Britain to Canada on July 15, 1870.
