The revolution of 1688, which brought William and Mary to the throne, claims to have given England some small measure of political stability. This had been unknown for nearly a century previously. Commerce(tading and businesses) began to flourish, but the public finances were weak and the system of money and credit was in a complete mess. The goldsmith bankers had been damaged by the lax financial management of the Stuart kings who help power previously. There were calls for a national bank to help move the nation's resources forward and monitor its use. There were a considerable amount of schemes were proposed. The most successful one, from William Paterson, created a loan of £1,200,000 (GBP) to the Government of the time, in return for which the subscribers would be incorporated as the "Governor and Company of the Bank of England". This was the name of the bank at the time similar to that of Lloyds, Barclays etc as we see now. Although the new bank would have risked its entire capital by lending it to the Government, the subscription proved very popular and money was raised in a few weeks. The Royal Charter was sealed on 27 July 1694, and the Bank started its role as the Government's banker and debt-manager. It remains so to this day. So the name was just like any other business trading name and not because it classed everywhere as England i.e Britain.
