	Bristol: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		Located in the southwest, Bristol was not only one of the busiest trading seaports in England but also one of the wealthiest towns in the county of Somerset during late medieval times.
		While Bristol probably would have continued to thrive as a seaport after the close of the middle ages, it was Cabot's success which sparked other adventurers to undertake similar explorations and which made Bristol's name famous throughout history.
		Some sense of Bristol's real nature as a seaport during these early years is derived from a statement by King Stephen, a Norman who ruled in the middle of the 12th century.
