Jean Cousin, also Jehan Cousin, was a 15th-century French Normand navigator who was said to have discovered the New World in 1488, four years before Christopher Columbus, when he landed in Brazil around the mouth of the Amazon. One of his captains was named Alonzo Pinzón, who left Cousin in a dispute after their return to Dieppe, and who is claimed to have left for Spain from where he advised Columbus on his westward sail. Pinzon is known to have displayed a remarkable confidence in guiding Columbus in his discovery of the New World. No indisputable written records remain however to support Cousin's claim to discovery.

  • Jean Cousin, also Jehan Cousin, was a 15th-century French Normand navigator who was said to have discovered the New World in 1488, four years before Christopher Columbus, when he landed in Brazil around the mouth of the Amazon. One of his captains was named Alonzo Pinzón, who left Cousin in a dispute after their return to Dieppe, and who is claimed to have left for Spain from where he advised Columbus on his westward sail. Pinzon is known to have displayed a remarkable confidence in guiding Columbus in his discovery of the New World. No indisputable written records remain however to support Cousin's claim to discovery. Cousin's travel was succeeded by that of Binot Paulmier de Gonneville in 1504 onboard L'Espoir, which was properly recorded and brought back an Indian named Essomericq. Gonneville affirmed that when he visited Brazil, French traders from Saint-Malo and Dieppe had already been trading there for several years. The precedent of Jean Cousin and his Normand sailors was used by Charles IX to justify the French attempts at colonizing Florida at Fort Caroline in 1564-65, as, it was said, they had discovered the New World before the Spanish did. The area was called "Terre des Bretons" by the French. The claim of Jean Cousin's discovery of the New World has long been reaffirmed in France. In 1660, in Us et coustumes de la mer emphasized it. The claim is also sometimes reaffirmed in contemporary popular literature. (en)
  • Jean Cousin, también Jehan Cousin, fue un cartógrafo y experto navegante francés de Normandia del siglo XV, recordado porque decía haber descubierto el Nuevo Mundo en 1488, cuatro años antes que Cristóbal Colón, cuando habría desembarcado en Brasil en torno a la desembocadura del río Amazonas,​​​ tras haber sido empujado hacia el oeste por una tormenta cuando realizaba un viaje al África occidental. La reclamación del descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo por Cousin ha sido reafirmada en Francia durante mucho tiempo. Ese viaje de Cousin y sus marineros normandos fue utilizado por Carlos IX para justificar los intentos franceses de colonización de la Florida, en Fort Caroline, en 1564-65, ya que, decía, habían descubierto el Nuevo Mundo antes de que los españoles lo hicieran.​ El área fue llamada por los franceses Tierra de los bretones [Terre des Bretons].​ En 1660, Etienne Clairac en Use et coutume de la mer así lo destacó.​ La reclamación también se ha reafirmado a veces en la literatura popular contemporánea. Los registros del viaje de Cousin, que estarían en los archivos de la ciudad de Dieppe, habrían quedado destruidos durante un bombardeo de los británicos en 1604 y este hecho se ve ahora seriamente cuestionado por varios historiadores.​​ (es)
