Cecilius Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, was the proprietor of the colony of Maryland, established in 1632. He aimed to create a haven for Catholics fleeing persecution in England and governed the colony through his brother Leonard, its first governor. The colony experienced religious tensions but implemented the Act of Toleration in 1649, allowing religious freedom for all Christians.
