A 355-year-old Royal Charter that survived the blitz auctioned for $13m in Canada

And the charter - once housed in a rural manor in the UK in World War Two during the blitz - will be under shared custody of various Canadian museums and archives. The Hudson's Bay Company said in a statement on Wednesday that "the Charter will be placed in the care of trusted institutions committed to, among other things, working in consultation with Indigenous communities so the Charter's complex history can be acknowledged, interpreted and shared with all Canadians". The Archives of Manitoba, the Manitoba Museum, the Canadian Museum of History and the Royal Ontario Museum will have joint possession of the document.
