King Christian III of Denmark to Hamburg: in response to a complaint of the Hamburg merchants with Iceland, states that he is generally favourable to their presence in Iceland, but they should remember that they can only do so by his special permission, that they should not stay in winter, and should obey the law of the land and the governor.
