Who established England's claims in North America?

Answer 1

John Cabot

Answer 2

John Cabot was the first explorer sailing for England to claim land in North America for England.

Henry Cabot was Italian by birth; his real name was Zuan Chabotto. He was a Venetian merchant trader and sailor for many years, and had also lived in Valencia and Seville, Spain for some time. He originally sought financial backing for an Atlantic expedition in 1494, in Spain and Portugal. Unsuccessful there, he traveled to London, and in 1496 obtained backing from several sources, including a patent from King Henry VII of England, to "investigate whatsoever islands, countries, regions or provinces of heathens and infidels, in whatsoever part of the world placed, which before this time were unknown to all Christians".

He sailed from Bristol in 1496, but had to turn back. He tried again in 1497, sailing from Bristol in early May. On June 4, 1497, Cabot and his crew made landfall somewhere, it is believed, along the coast of Newfoundland.

They landed only long enough to raise the Venetian and Papal banners, and to claim the land for England. They reembarked, then sailed the coast for several weeks before turning back for England. They did not go ashore again following their first landfall in Newfoundland.
