Be it known unto all men by these presents; June 17, 1579; by the grace of God and in the name of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth of England and her successors forever; I take possession of this Kingdom; whose king and people freely resign their right and title in the whole land unto Her Majesty's keeping; Now named by me and to be known unto all men as Nova Albion. G. Francis Drake
