In 1632, a noble archbishop, George Galville, was rewarded by King Charles I of England to establish a colony of Maryland.
Galville was Richard I's favorite, baron Batimore. He is a shareholder of the East India Company. In 1632, King Charles I of England rewarded him with the land that originally belonged to Virginia at 40°N latitude and the southern bank of the Potami River, and called it the owner's colony. On behalf of the King of England, the owner may send governors and magistrates to establish legislative councils and courts.
Galville ruled cruelly in the colony, so the colony developed very slowly. It was only in 1634 that the area around Sapeake Bay slowly migrated. Galville returned the colony of Maryland to the King in 1692, and returned it to him in 1715. Therefore, until the War of Independence, the colony of Maryland was still the owner colonizer.
