# Newfoundland
## English
### Etymology

From Middle English new found lande (in a letter, apparently written in 1499, from Henry VII of England to his lord chancellor, Cardinal John Morton, about the North American land explored by Sebastian and John Cabot, a likely location being Newfoundland, or the name later being specifically narrowed down to it), equivalent to newfound +‎ land.

* ↑ Evan T. Jones (2013) “Bristol, Cabot and the New Found Land, 1496–1500”, in Peter Edward Pope and Shannon Lewis-Simpson, editors, Exploring Atlantic Transitions: Archaeologies of Transience and Permanence in New Found Lands (The Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology; monograph 8), The Boydell Press, →ISBN, page 28:Of these documents, the most important was a letter, apparently written in 1499, from Henry VII to his lord chancellor, Cardinal John Morton. This letter instructed the lord chancellor to suspend legal proceedings against William Weston of Bristol, on the grounds that it was the king’s intention that Weston would ‘shortly with God’s grace pass and sail for to search and find if he can the new found lande’. Since the letter seems to post-date Cabot’s voyages, but cannot be later than 12 March 1500, it would appear to be a reference to a previously unknown voyage, led by a merchant not known to be associated with the Bristol expeditions. The document is of interest, moreover, both because it is the first to employ the term ‘new found land’ and because it serves to endorse one of Ruddock’s key claims – that William Weston of Bristol led an independent expedition to the New World in 1499.
