Best Answer

Columbus was an explorer and a sailor. He discovered the New World (later Americas) and was patronised by the Spanish. He was not an aristocrat. Henry the Navigator never took a voyage himself. He was a Portuguese prince who patronised seamen to find a new route to the Indies. He established the first school of navigation and the first observatory in Portugal.
