Henry VII, John Cabot, and England’s First Claim to Newfoundland | Tudor Rose Series Podcast
Join our free Tudor Rose Series Community: / tudorroseseries.com Before Christopher Columbus sailed for Spain in 1492, he first sought support from England. In this video, we explore the little-known story of how Christopher Columbus attempted to secure funding from King Henry VII and how a series of delays, piracy, and bad timing changed the course of history. Discover how Bartholomew Columbus traveled to England to present his brother's proposal, why Henry VII never became Columbus's patron, and how Spain ultimately financed the voyage that led to the European discovery of the Americas. More importantly, learn how Henry VII responded after realizing England had missed a major opportunity. Determined not to be left behind in the Age of Exploration, the Tudor king turned to another Italian navigator living in Bristol: John Cabot. Follow Cabot's historic 1497 voyage across the Atlantic, his landing in Newfoundland, and the moment he raised England's banner in North America. This expedition provided the foundation for England's future claims in the New World and helped shape the beginnings of what would later become the British Empire.
