Henry Hudson was English. He explored for English merchants and the Dutch East India Company. He looked for the Northeast Passage to India and the Northwest Passage to the Spice Island. Part of his exploration for the Northwest passage led him to explore the Hudson river for the Dutch East India company and laid the foundation for Dutch settlement of New York.

He did not explore on behalf of Spain.
