What was Henry Hudson sponsoring nation?
His first voyages in 1607 and 1608 were sponsored by the Muscovy Company, which was a British company but not affiliated with the British Crown. His next voyage (1609) was sponsored by the Dutch East Indian Company, then in 1610 he was sponsored by the Virginia Company (which sponsored expeditions to Jamestown) and British East India Company. This voyage faced a mutiny and he was cast out to sea somewhere off the canadian coast. So the answer would sort of be England, but he didn't go directly to the King or Queen. Rather he claimed land for England but was sponsored by individual groups of people via proprietary companies
