Prince Henry was important to the age of exploration because he encouraged most explorers to go on expeditions! I think he also went on an exploration himself.
Prince Henry's major accomplishments included exploration of West Africa. He also formed a school for navigation that helped to encourage more exploration for Portugal.
Because of him, Portugal became the first country to explore. If he didn't start the "school of navigation" there would be no exploration. So he is the most important.
During the 15th century, Prince Henry the Navigator was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Portuguese exploration. He played a crucial role in promoting maritime exploration along the West African coast, establishing a navigation school in Sagres, and fostering advancements in shipbuilding and navigation techniques. His efforts laid the groundwork for Portugal's eventual dominance in global exploration and trade.
The Age of Exploration brought out four European Great Powers. In the beginning, Spain and Portugal were the only explorers and claimed the most land. But then, France and Great Britain also became major players. In the end, Great Britain was the most powerful country. So throughout the period of exploration, power shifted from Spain to Great Britain.

Some of the most famous pirates from the Age of Exploration include Francis Drake, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, and William Kidd. These pirates operated primarily in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, plundering ships and coastal settlements. They were known for their brutality, cunning tactics, and ability to evade capture.
Portugal took the lead in overseas exploration due to their strong government support. Prince Henry was the nations most enthusiastic supporter. He saw the wealth that existed beyond Europe.
Henry Hudson faced several hardships during his explorations, including harsh weather conditions, lack of food and supplies, and conflicts with his crew. One of his most famous expeditions, the voyage in 1610 in search of the Northwest Passage, ended in disaster when his crew mutinied and set him adrift in a small boat, leading to his death. Hudson's persistence in the face of these challenges contributed to his legacy as an important explorer in the Age of Discovery.

Spain explored the entire world but concentrated mainly on Central and South America.
The efforts of Prince Henry the Navigator (of Portugal) were probably single the most significant factor in moving his country to prominence in exploration in the 15th century and on into the 16th century.
