Warwick Patent
The Warwick Patent was a grant of land in southern New England issued in 1632 (1631 in the old-style calendar) by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, as president of the Council for New England. Its holders, a group of Puritan lords and gentlemen led by Viscount Saye and Sele and Lord Brooke, used it to found Saybrook Colony in 1635. The original document was never produced and its validity was later disputed, and the colony's lands were sold to Connecticut in 1644.
