Answer: Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney and  Sir James Gunn

Explanation;

Henry Sinclair was a Scottish nobleman who according to some stories, was the first European to reach North America doing so in the 1300s which would mean he did so a century before Christopher Columbus.

The main proof of this arises from letters between the Zeno brothers in which it is alleged that after Henry saved them from islanders in Shetland and so they pledged to sail with him.

In one of their voyages they reached Newfoundland in Canada before continuing inwards to reach Massachusetts around where Sir James Gunn who was accompanying him on the trip died. They allegedly commemorated this by drawing an outline of an armoured knight with a shield bearing the crest on the Gunn House on a rock which today is found in Westford, Massachusetts.

It is also alleged that both men were members of the then defunct Knights Templars.

Fed [463]

Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

Spanish explorer and conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European explorer to see the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean. In 1511, he was made captain general and interim governor of Darién, the first Spanish settlement in Panama, by king Ferdinand II. The Spanish got news about a fabulously rich Indian kingdom with much gold to the south (probably the Inca empire), a story that encouraged Spanish greed.  In 1513, without waiting for reinforcements, Núñez de Balboa  headed 190 Spanish soldiers and numerous Indian porters and set to explore southwards, crossing dense jungles, swamps and mountains. There he saw the shores of the Pacific. As a reward for his discovery of the Mar del Sur (Southern Sea, the Pacific), the king appointed him Adelantado (envoy).
