Question: 1 / 1030

Who granted the Hudson's Bay Company exclusive trading rights in 1670?

King Louis XIV of France

Queen Elizabeth I of England

King Charles II of England

The Hudson's Bay Company was a fur trading company that was founded in 1670, with exclusive trading rights granted to them by King Charles II of England. This was done in an effort to establish a British presence in North America and to compete with other European powers, such as France and Spain, who were also exploring and trading in the region. Therefore, it was not King Louis XIV of France, Queen Elizabeth I of England, or King Philip II of Spain who granted the Hudson's Bay Company these exclusive rights.
