Bermuda’s 1515 Discovery and Early Colonial Strife
The island Bermuda was found in 1515 by Spaniard Tuan de Bermudez. An earlier shipwreck by an Engish vessel led to English colonization plans. Admiral Sir George Somers died en route to the Virginians after reporting wonders of Bermuda. The Virginia company extended its charter to islands within 800 leagues of Virginia and sent 50 colonists in 1692. Later a Bermuda company took rights, sparking local parliamentary formation and harsh triple-branch governance with severe penalties.
