The Hudson's Bay Company was created in 1670 by King Charles II of England. It still exists today.
He was in England and sailed to Canada so he could discover the Hudson bay.
I'm pretty sure the French owned the territory around Hudson Bay in 1763.
Henry Hudson was an English sailor who sailed for English merchants and later for the Dutch East India Company. Thus he sailed at different times under the British and the Dutch flags.
