Colonial governor; born in England.
In 1673 King Charles gave to two of his profligate courtiers, Lord Culpeper and the Earl of Arlington, all the domain of land and water called Virginia for thirty years. A commission was given to Culpeper as governor for life, to take effect whenever Berkeley should vacate the office.
