| Summary | "The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English" by Richard Hakluyt is a comprehensive historical account compiled in the late 16th century. This work serves as a collection of travel narratives and exploration accounts of English mariners, particularly focusing on routes to the East and North America, as well as the wealth and opportunities encountered during their voyages. At the start of this extensive work, the narrative delves into the genealogy of the great Duke of Moscovia, derived from chronicled accounts that trace his ancestry back to notable figures in ancient history, including an assertion of descent from the Roman Emperors. The opening sets a scholarly tone, discussing the tendency of nations to embellish their heritage while preparing the reader for an exploration into the history and significance of Russia and its interactions with foreign powers. The text presents a careful recounting of historical claims and events leading to the emergence of Muscovy as a substantial political entity in northeastern Europe, capturing the essence of the era's exploratory ambitions.
