A sponsor of a small colony at Ferryland in his Province of Avalon, Newfoundland, he was determined by 1629 to obtain lands in a friendlier climate. His request for a large colonial grant with unprecedented powers, located north of the Potomac River, was agreed to by Charles I, but he died almost two months before the charter for Maryland was officially granted. For ten points, name this man, whose title comes from a rather large city near the Chesapeake Bay.
