Region/Country: Region/Land: Bremen, Holy Roman Empire
Bremen, a harbour city on the river Weser, is first mentioned in the 8th century, and became as archbishopric a clerical centre for the Christianisation of Northern Europe. It later became an important trading centre, and as such steered a growing independent course from the bishop, although it did not always have the status of Free Imperial City. It was among the most important members of the Hanse, until the last Hanseatic Diet.

Bremen to Count John VII of Oldenburg: relate how the deceased Johan Munsterman, who has used the harbour Kummerwage in Iceland for many years, has suffered great damage, and if the king had known this at the time, he would never have issued a new license to Joachim Kolling, who is now complaining about hindrance of Bremen in his plans to sail there. Therefore, it is asked that the use of the harbour is left to Munsterman's widow and companions, who are in great distress.
