Re: erratum

Peter one short answer above,
you had a longer one last summer re. same marriage negotiations. In the
negotiations between England and Sweden the English called for being allowed
to fish in all Swedish waters. That included areas outside Sweden.
Same pact which in early 1400's was made between the English Royal Family
and King Erik who married the English King's sister Philippa.

Pater (also known as Peter and Petros):
Thank you for that pointer.
That mapcan be seen here, at this excellent zoomable site:

A later map has a notation in Baffin Bay:

Thomas Jefferys. Chart containing part of the Icy Sea with
the adjacent coast of Asia and America, and
Chart comprising Greenland with the countries and
islands about Baffin's and Hudson's Bays.
London, 1775.

"This noble Discovery was made in search of a N.W.Pafsage,
by Capt. Rob't Bilot, conducted by Will'm Baffin, in 1616 not 22:
Neither did Munck ever enter this Bay, or give it the Name
of Chriftian's Sea as some late Charts and Maps, Englifh as well
as French, would have it."

Whatever was the land that supposedly supplied furs,
which was known as New Denmark or something similar,
it was not the land on the west side of Munck's Christian Sea.
It may have been land on the Atlantic seaboard, e.g.
Labrador, Newfoundland, Quebec, or Nova Scotia.
Munck'smap does not depict the west side of Hudson Bay
with any accuracy, so either it was an intentionally false depiction,
or the cartographer had no idea what the west side of Hudson Bay
looked like.
In either case, the labelling of New Denmark on maps as being
the western side of Hudson Bay was in error, and as soon as it
was properly charted, map-makers stopped using the name for
the west side of Hudson Bay.

Daryl and Peter.
One of the first who used the maps(actually seacharts) which Tycho
Brahe had access to were Ortelius. Reason why a copy of the seachart
in question where in the Netherlands were that King Erik XIV of
Sweden in 1559/60 had sent a seachart where Hudson Bay was on but
nothing else to Amsterdaam where he ordered his regalie - the Swedish
'Riksäpplet' made to his coronation. It's the same seachart version
which the English earlier in 1550's had access to during the marriage
negotiations between him and Elizabeth I.

Why did they need a seechart for a mariage?
And why gave Elisabeth a map with Nova Dania
on it to Erik?
And if it was in the 1550s then it is not only a
unknown map, but also a unknown and very old
Danckerts.Old Cornelus was born in 1603 and
started business in 1630.
.

It was much closer to a marriage than what's been said here before.
Erik had loaded a ship here in Gotha Elf area and was about to board
the ship when a servant came telling him that his father Gustav Vasa
was ill and that Erik was soon to be the new King. When he didn't
arrive as promised in England Elizabeth wrote her wellknown Dear
Johan letter....

So?

You did not answer one of the by Daryl and me riased questions.
