A Comparison Of Selected British Charter Companies In India And North America Great Britain’s first attempts at colonization around the globe started with Queen Elizabeth I, who granted charters to three major companies for the exclusive rights to extract the wealth from other regions of the world to stock the coffers of Britain. These three companies were the Plymouth, London (also known as Virginia) and East India Companies. In this paper we will look at the charter companies that started the colonization of North America. We will also focus on how each company ruled their territory and gained or lost power respectively. On April 10, 1606, George Popham and Sir Ferdinando Gorges were granted a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to start the Virginia Company of Plymouth. The Plymouth Company was one of two joint-stock companies who had charters in England to colonize in North America. The other company was the Virginia Company of London , which will be mentioned in more depth in the next section. The Plymouth Company was allotted the northern region of North America and was not to start a settlement less than a hundred miles away from any London Company settlement.
