English kings granted colonial charters because they believed that colonies would generate economic wealth through trade, agriculture, and resource extraction. Establishing colonies also allowed for the expansion of English influence and power in new territories, which could serve as strategic military and naval bases. Additionally, colonies provided opportunities for settling surplus population and spreading English culture and governance. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the overarching goal of enhancing the monarchy's prestige and financial gain.
