In what year did King Charles II of England grant the Hudson's Bay Company exclusive trading rights over the watershed draining into Hudson Bay?

1607
1670
1759
1821

The correct answer is: 1670

The incorrect answer of A, 1607, is too early. King Charles II was not even born until 1630 and did not become King until 1660. Therefore, 1607 is not a plausible answer. The incorrect answer of C, 1759, is too late. By this time, the Hudson's Bay Company had already been granted exclusive trading rights for over 80 years. Additionally, in 1759, King Charles II had been dead for almost 70 years. The incorrect answer of D, 1821, is also too late. By this time, the Hudson's Bay Company had been operating with exclusive trading rights for over 150 years. This date is also after the reign of King Charles II, who died in 1685.
