Once upon a time, there lived a man who emigrated to Jamestown in 1621 to whom King Charles, I gave letters patent granting him the right to settle and trade in a large swathe of the land belonging to Virginia and as far north as what is now Newfoundland. Unfortunately, the King had neglected his geography lessons and granted the best part of that same area - where the man was already well-established and successful - to his friend, Lord Baltimore who had the bad manners to die, leaving it to his son to sort out. In the end, it caused a war between the Virginia and Maryland Colonies, and the Claiborne and Calvert families. The man lost everything in contention and fought for it until his death in 1677. The man was my 11th great grandfather.
