Walter Raleigh claimed land in North America, specifically in what is now present-day North Carolina during the late 16th century. His efforts to establish settlements in the region, known as the Roanoke Colony, ultimately failed.

Who did Queen Elizabeth I give the right to claim any land in north America not already owned by a Christian monarch?

Queen Elizabeth I first gave the right (patent) to settle any land in the New World not already claimed by a Christian monarch to Raleigh's half brother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert. When Sir Gilbert goes down with his ship in a vain show of bravado, the patent passes to Walter Raleigh. The patent requires English settlers to be in the New World in Virginia, a much larger area than the present state. When the Roanoke Colonists became lost, rumors were kept floating for many years of sightings to reinforce the idea that English colonists were still there. Otherwise Raleigh would have lost his patent. And England would have had no right to send future colonists. http://www.the-lost-colony.blogspot.com/
