<title>Introduction</title>
<para>On March 25, 1584, Queen Elizabeth I of England charged Sir Walter Raleigh to:
<blockquote>
<para>discover, search, find out, and view such remote, heathen and barbarous lands,
countries, and territories, not actually possessed of any Christian Prince, nor
inhabited by Christian People</para>
<attribution><xref linkend="thorpe1997"/></attribution>
</blockquote>
That same year Raleigh sent two captains, Philip Amades and Arthur Barlowe, from
England to Hispaniola and the Canary Islands; from there, the captains were instructed to
scout the lands northeast of those already claimed by Spain, to wit, Florida. This land —
now encompassing the Carolinas and Virginia — was claimed on behalf of England and named
<quote>Virginia</quote>, in honor of the <quote>Virgin Queen</quote>.</para>
