    <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 &#8212; 
      now encompassing the Carolinas and Virginia &#8212; was claimed on behalf of England and named
      <quote>Virginia</quote>, in honor of the <quote>Virgin Queen</quote>.</para>
