[edit] Biography

Cabot's birthplace is a matter of much controversy with Italian (Venice, Gaeta or Castiglione Chiavarese having been proposed as birthplaces[3]), English, or Catalan roots all being possibilities.[2] When he was eleven, he moved to Venice and became a Venetian citizen.[citation needed]

Like other Italian explorers of the era, such as Christopher Columbus, Cabot made another country his base of operations. It was probably on hearing of Columbus's discovery of 'the Indies' that he decided to find a route to the west for himself. He had a simple plan, to start from a northerly latitude where the longitudes are much closer together, and where, as a result, the voyage would be much shorter.[4]

Cabot sought funding from England and so his explorations were made under the English flag.

King Henry VII of England gave him a grant to go on

“ full and free authority, leave, and power, to sail to all parts, countries, a see as, of the East, of the West, and of the North, under our banners and ensigns, with five ships ... and as many mariners or men as they will have in said ships, upon their own proper costs and charges, to seek out, discover, and find, whatsoever isles, countries, regions or provinces of the heathen and infidels, whatsoever they be, and in what part of the world soever they be, which before this time have been unknown to all Christians.
