The '''East India Company''' (EIC) was also known as the '''Honourable East India Company''' (HEIC), as '''[[John Company]]''', or in India as '''Company Bahadur''' (Hindustani bahādur, "brave")<ref>[http://www.hubert-herald.nl/BhaHEIC.htm Honourable East India Company]. “National Arms and Emblems Past and Present” hubert-herald.nl</ref>. The name '''United East-India Company''' was also used. It was a joint-stock company that was granted an English Royal Charter on December 31, 1600 by Elizabeth I. The British East India Company started out as a commercial trading venture, but grew in strength and eventually virtually ruled India until the [[Indian Mutiny]] in 1857.
