Queen Elizabeth I first gave Sir Humphrey Gilbert (drowned in 1583) permission to establish an English settlement in Newfoundland. Since he died in the attempt, the queen then gave his half-brother, Sir Walter Raleigh, the charter. He established the settlement of Roanoke Colony in present day North Carolina which later became known as the "Lost Colony".
