Region/Country: Region/Land: Iceland, Iceland
First settled in the 9th century by Vikings from Norway and Irish monks, Iceland was independent until 1262, when it became part of the kingdom of Norway. Iceland was a tributary land (skattland) of the Norwegian/Danish king in the 15th and 16th century. Officially trade with Iceland had to be conducted through Bergen in Norway, but in the 15th century English, and soon afterwards German, traders established direct trading links with the island. In the course of the 16th century the Danish king managed to gain ever more control over the island, until he finally instituted the Danish trading monopoly in 1601, effectively banning all foreign trade with Iceland.

Bremen
Bremen to king Christian IV of Denmark: complaint about the prohibition to sail to Stickningsholm in Iceland, which is, contrary to what the Oldenburg merchants say, a separate harbour from Neswage. Moreover, the Oldernburg merchants are not able to meet the needs of the islanders with a single ship. If the king is unwilling to allow continued trading there, then at least permission to sail for a single year is requested, to reclaim outstanding debts.
