This is an attempt to list all documents in the online Diplomatarium Norwegicum dealing with Greenland after the apparent return of Ivar Bardarson to Norway in 1364. It will be observed that most are documents from the Papal authorities concerning the appointment and privileges of Bishops of Gardar, none of whom after Bishop Alf seem ever to have set foot in their diocese! | ||
