Hans Tappe to Hamburg: answer to the complaint of Lubberd Tydeman, Hans Schulhovet and their companions in the conflict about the use of the harbour Grindeforde, in which he states that it is custom that if a merchant uses a certain harbour in Iceland and has paid the tolls, he has the sole right to trade there and shall not be hindered by others, even though the seas are free to use by anyone. Therefore, Hans Tappe is the one that was hindered by the others and shall be compensated with 1000 mark.
