Muscovy Company or Russia Company,first major English
joint-stock trading company. It began in 1553 as a group
supporting exploration of a possible northeast passage to Asia.
An expedition under Richard Chancellor reached the White Sea,
and Chancellor himself continued overland to Moscow. The company
was chartered in 1555, with a monopoly on the newly opened
Russian trade, and between 1562 and 1579 it financed expeditions
to establish overland trade routes to Persia. In 1646, English
merchants were excluded from Russia, but trade reopened on the
restoration (1660) of Charles II, and the company was
reorganized as a regulated company. It lost its monopoly, long a
subject of political opposition, in 1698 but continued in
existence until 1917.

Cabot in his expedition to the New World. He was an alderman in
