Question

Who sponsored Cabot for traveling

Answer 1

John Cabot, an Italian explorer, was sponsored by King Henry VII of England for his travels to the New World. Cabot received a royal charter in 1496, which authorized him to seek a westward route to Asia and explore the lands he might find. This sponsorship led to his voyage in 1497, during which he is credited with being one of the first Europeans to reach mainland North America since the Viking explorations.
