Sir Walter Raleigh was granted a charter by Queen Elizabeth I to establish an English colony in North America, known as the Lost Colony. The first expedition led by Amadas and Barlowe explored the area, meeting friendly native Secotans and Croatans as well as hostile Aquascogoc. Later expeditions arrived to reinforce the dwindling population, but they went missing, possibly due to war with local tribes. When governor White returned to England for help, his voyage back was delayed by war. Upon his return, he found the Roanoke colony missing, unable to search due to a storm.
