A Chinese discovered America? In an opium dream maybe. Dr John Dee, astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, made a formal claim to North America on the back of a map drawn in 1577, noting that c.1494 (three years before Italian John Cabot) Mr Robert Thorn and Mr Eliot of Bristow, discovered Newfound Land. In his Title Royal of 1580, John Dee invented the claim that Madog ab Owain Gwynedd had discovered America, with the intention of ensuring that England's claim to the New World was stronger than that of Spain.
