Was John Cabot and Henry Hudson financed by Spain?

No, John Cabot and Henry Hudson were not financed by Spain. John Cabot, an Italian explorer, was funded by England in 1497 to search for a westward route to Asia. Similarly, Henry Hudson, an English navigator, undertook his voyages in the early 17th century under the sponsorship of the Dutch East India Company, as well as the English crown, rather than Spain.
