I believe it was Leif Ericksonn, son of Erik the Red, a Norse man from Greenland.

From what i recall, he was banned from Norway for a murder, then moved to Iceland with his men, then was banned for another murder, then moved to Greenland and conducted some expeditions from there to Newfoundland, which he named Vinland
