Region/Country: Region/Land: Shetland, Scotland

Archipelago in the North Atlantic, which was settled by Viking settlers in the Early Middle Ages, and belonged to the king of Norway until 1469, when it was pledged by king Christian I of Denmark-Norway to Scotland, as security for the dowry of his daughter. The dowry was never paid. In the 15th to 17th centuries, the islands were frequented by merchants from Bremen and, to a lesser extent, Hamburg.
