	Sebastian Cabot (explorer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sebastian Cabot told Englishman Richard Eden that he was born in Bristol and carried to Venice at four years of age, and he told Contarini, the Venetian ambassador at the court of Charles V that he was Venetian, educated in England.
		By 1512 Sebastian was certainly employed by Henry VIII as a cartographer at Greenwich.
		The character of Sebastian Cabot does not leave a favourable impression; restless and unscrupulous, he busied himself with the most varied projects, and was ready to enter into relations with any country from which he might hope to gain the realization of his schemes.

		The inference that John Cabot’s three sons, mentioned in his patent of 1496, must then have been of full age is almost certainly unfounded; the absence of their names from the second patent, which in 1498 authorized the impressment of shipping by their father, suggests in fact that at this date they were still minors.
		Cabot supported Gutiérrez and produced reports on the numerous errors of the padrón; but the opinion of other cosmographers prevailed, and Cabot was in 1545 forced to acquiesce in the official condemnation of Gutiérrez’ proposed reform and to require him to make his charts accord with the padrón.
		Cabot was certainly consulted in or before 1553 about a plan for an Anglo-French descent on Peru (the “secret” of which he wrote to Charles V); but his principal task was to be that of expert adviser on the English ventures for discovery of a northeast passage.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John and Sebastian Cabot
		Cabot began his preparations for the voyage at once and sailed from Bristol early in May, 1497, on the ship Matthew, with eighteen men, among whom may have been his son Sebastian.
		According to the chart of Sebastian Cabot (1544), the land was in the vicinity of Cape Breton Island.
		Cabot here went ashore and left behind his companions, Francisco de Rojas, Martín Mendez, and Miguel de Rodas, with whom he had quarrelled; he explored the Paraná River as far as its junction with the Paraguay and built two forts.

		To Cabot’s objectives and the means by which he proposed to reach them, and to the experience and reasoning by which he formulated his project, we have only indirect testimony, since no writing from his hand or of his composition survives on these matters.
		On 5 March 1496, Cabot received letters patent from King Henry VII for a voyage of discovery from Bristol; and the lengthy process by which agreement on the terms of the patent was reached must have been set on foot some time earlier, although its initiation cannot much have antedated Puebla’s letter.
		Cabot’s favour with the king is attested by the grant of an annual pension of £20, to be paid from the Bristol customs and subsidies (13 Dec. 1497), and by a “reward” of 66s.
