14300historical_info = flavor_eng.145.historical_info The Company of Merchants of England Trading to the Levant was set up when a royal charter was granted by Queen Elizabeth I, in order to trade with the Ottoman Empire and its neighbors. The exchange of various goods, including textiles, spices, and other luxury items, between England and the Levantine territories were a priority for the company, who would go on to establish trading posts and throughout the eastern Mediterranean.
