I'm not completely sure of your question, but Leif Ericsson was famous because he was the first European to discover Amercia. People think and there is evidence that shows that Leif Ericsson descovered a place he called vineland( an island off the coast of Canada) long before Columbus discovered it. Places like France and Britan never found out about the discovery because no permanent settlements were ever established on Vineland
Leif did not need a sponsor.i believe it was his father due to the influence of his mother onto his father.
