EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic document, dated 5th March 1496, marks a pivotal moment in European exploration as it grants authority to the intrepid explorer, John Cabot, to embark on a voyage to discover new lands on behalf of King Henry VII of England. The royal decree, signed in the presence of the Privy Seal, authorizes Cabot to navigate beyond the westernmost islands of Britain and Ireland, with the ultimate goal of reaching the East Indies, Asia, or other unknown lands. The document, held in the National Archives of the UK (C82/1496), is a testament to the power and authority of the monarchy during the late Middle Ages. Henry VII, who ascended to the throne in 1485, sought to expand England's influence and territories, and the exploration of new lands was a means to achieve this goal. John Cabot, an Italian explorer, had previously served under the patronage of King Richard III, but with Henry VII's ascension, he sought the new monarch's support for his ambitious plans. The document not only granted Cabot permission to explore but also provided him with the necessary backing of the English crown, ensuring that any discoveries made during his voyage would be considered English territories. This royal charter represents the beginning of England's involvement in the Age of Discovery, paving the way for future explorers such as John Cabot's son, Sebastian, and Sir Walter Raleigh. The document's intricate design, featuring the royal coat of arms and the seal of the Privy Seal, underscores the grandeur and majesty of the English monarchy during this period.
