	George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calvert was granted a Royal Charter in 1623 and his land grant was extended from Ferryland to Petty Harbour and from Conception Bay to west of Placentia Bay and was named the Province of Avalon.
		His service in that post was a failure, as he had failed in the attempt to negotiate a marriage between the Prince of Wales (the future King Charles I) and Maria, daughter of King Philip III of Spain.
		However, in 1625 Calvert was granted the title of Lord Baltimore, of Baltimore Manor in County Longford, as a reward for his loyalty to the King and moved to his Irish estates.

	George Calvert
		Upon the death of Lord Cecil in 1613, Calvert was made clerk of the Privy Council.
		Calvert, believing Spain would be the better friend or more formidable foe, favored the proposed marriage of Charles, Prince of Wales, with the Infanta Maria, daughter of Philip III, although the majority in Parliament were opposed to this union.
		As a reward for faithful service the king granted him (in 1621) a manor of 2300 acres, in the county of Longford, Ireland, on the condition that all settlers "should be conformable in point of religion." Calvert, becoming a Catholic, in 1624, surrendered this manor, but received it again, with the religious clause omitted.

	Portrait of George Calvert - Enoch Pratt Free Library - Baltimore, MD
		George Calvert, the virtual founder of Maryland, was born at Kiplin, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, and grew up in an age that witnessed the defeat of the Spainsh Armada, the exploits of Drake and Raleigh, and a flowering of literature, including Spenser and Shakespeare.
		In 1625, however, Calvert's career reached a turning point when he had announced that he had become a member of the Roman Catholic Church, an event that in England of the seventeenth century was likely to put an end to political preferment.
		Calvert's zeal for American colonization was foreshadowed early in his career when he became a member of both the Virginia and the New England companies.

	Sir George Calvert and the Colony of Avalon: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		Calvert purchased land in Newfoundland from William Vaughan in 1620.
		It was, surely, no coincidence that when Calvert withdrew from his Newfoundland adventure the fishery was in severe decline, the trade having dropped to about a third of its level in the balmy days of the early 1620s, when the Colony of Avalon had been planned.
		Despite the severe religious conflicts of the period, Calvert secured the right of Catholics to practice their religion unimpeded in the new colony, and embraced the novel principle of religious tolerance, which he wrote into the Charter of Avalon and the later Charter of Maryland.

		That George was sharp enough to recognize the possibilities of such a marriage is certainly plausible, but it would have been the parents who first broached the subject as a practical matter for both families.
		George Calvert was not only able to openly profess Catholicism to a Protestant King, but managed to have his grant of baronial title omit the usual obligation that he be “conformable in point of religion”, i.e., that his religion and the King’s be identical.
		George Washington desired to settle a State at a time in the Northwest, and a few years later Jefferson wanted to reserve settlement of his Louisiana Purchase to north of the thirty-second parallel, in order to offer the balance of it to the Indians in exchange for their settlements east of the Mississippi.
