Merchants with the harbour Walforde in Iceland to Hamburg: complain how after a shipwreck, during which they lost their license, the Danish king told them to transport their goods together with the merchants in Haneforde. As they refused because they have too many goods to transport themselves, it is requested to sail one more year to Walforde to collect outstanding debts.
