Leif Erikson, aka Leifur Eiríksson, was not sponsored by any countries. His father, Erik Thorvaldson, aka Eiríkr Þorvaldsson, aka Erik the Red, was banished from Iceland after "some killings", and sailed to Greenland accordingly. Eriksson first stumbled into North America when his ship was blown off course when he was returning to Greenland from Norway. He spotted land lush with natural resources such as timber, wild grain, and grapes. He later mounted an expedition to return the land he had spotted - in search of more and better land for his family and others who had moved to Greenland.
