Since [[Henry Hudson]] had claimed [[Hudson Bay]], and the surrounding lands for England in 1611, English colonists had begun expanding their boundaries across what is now the [[Canada|Canadian]] north beyond the French-held territory of New France. In 1670, King Charles II of England issued a charter to Prince Rupert and "the Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson Bay" for an English monopoly in harvesting furs in [[Rupert's Land]], a portion of the land draining into [[Hudson Bay]]. This is the start of the [[Hudson's Bay Company]], ironically aided by French ''coureurs des bois'', [[Pierre-Esprit Radisson]] and [[Médard des Groseilliers]], frustrated with French license rules.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hbcheritage.ca/content/timeline |title=Hudson's Bay Company is born May 2, 1670 |publisher=HBC Heritage, Hudson's Bay Company |access-date=14 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hbcheritage.ca/hbcheritage/history/people/explorers/radisson.asp |title=Explorers: Radisson and des Groseilliers |publisher=HBC Heritage, Hudson's Bay Company |access-date=14 November 2013}}</ref><ref name=Fuchs>{{cite journal |first=Denise |last=Fuchs |title=Embattled Notions: Constructions of Rupert's Land's Native Sons, 1760 To 1861 |url=http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/mb_history/44/embattlednotions.shtml |journal=Manitoba History |publisher=Manitoba Historical Society |date=March 2002 |volume=44 |pages=10–17 |issn=0226-5044}}</ref> Now both France and England were formally in the Canadian fur trade.<ref name="Our History: People">{{cite web |url=http://www.hbcheritage.ca/hbcheritage/history/people/explorers/samuelhearne.asp |title=Our History: People - Samuel Hearne |access-date=14 November 2007 |publisher=HBC Heritage, Hudson's Bay Company}}</ref>
