Who was the first European to discover America?

For all practical purposes, Christopher Columbus was the first European to discover the Americas. This being said with the understanding that the islands he landed on in the Caribbean Sea were and are part of the Americas. It is acknowledged that there is a semblance of a case that the Americas were first discovered by Lief Erricson. If so, they had no impact compared to the Columbus voyages.


When did bjarni herjulfsson die?

It is unknown when exactly Bjarni Herjolfsson died, as it was never documented. It is said that following the murder of his son, the kidnapping of his wife, and the selling his ship to Leif Erickson that he killed himself. It is unknown if that is true or if he survived and settled somewhere.

Yes. There is a consensus among scholars that the vikings traveled to what is today known as America five centuries prior to the travels of Christopher Columbus. The vikings gave America the name: "Vinland" or in English (Word by word translation): "Wine land." One interpretation is "meadow land." The most famous of these vikings was "Leif Erikson."
