Before Sir Walter Raleigh established the colony of Virginia, Queen Elizabeth I granted him a patent in 1584. This patent allowed Raleigh to explore and claim land in the New World for England. It also conferred the title of "Governor of Virginia" upon him, empowering him to establish a colony and promote English interests in the Americas. Raleigh's expedition ultimately led to the founding of the Roanoke Colony, the first English attempt at settlement in North America.
Walter Raleigh received the charter for the Roanoke colony in 1584 from Queen Elizabeth I of England.
