On 5 March 1496, King Henry VII of England issued letters patent to John Cabot (signed documents show that he referred to himself as "Zuan Chabotto") to explore the unknown lands across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1496 Cabot set out from Bristol, England with one ship, but was forced to return because of disputes with the crew. Cabot's next two voyages across the Atlantic are important for having established the English claim to North America. On 5 August 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert formally claimed Newfoundland as England's first overseas' colony under Royal Prerogative of Queen Elizabeth I.
