178 LETTERS OF JAMES IV [1510
321. John of Denmark to James IV, by Robert Barton,
Copenhagen, September 4, 1510. w. i. 39.
John takes advantage of a reliable messenger. After
Norge returned from Scotland, the men of Liibeck pro¬
cured a force from the Hansa towns, notably Rostock,
Stralsund, Liineborg and Wismar, and invaded John’s
territory with fire and sword, inducing the Swedes to break
their last compact. Some Swedes raided Skaane a few
days ago, lost their leader, and took to flight. All this
compels John to seek the largest number of troops and
ships that James can send, the fleet to be at Copenhagen
before Easter at latest and the size of the force to be
intimated. H.
322. John of Denmark to James IV, by Robert Barton,
Copenhagen, September 4, 1510. w. i. 39.
Deeply involved against Liibeck, John learns that
Maximilian has forbidden the princes of Germany to assist
him and has ordered them to support Liibeck, ignoring
the fact that John was always ready to submit his case
to these princes judicially or otherwise. Would James
write at once to Louis XII and seek an appeal to Maxi¬
milian not to deprive John of his natural allies or support
Liibeck, because John has never wronged the King of the
Romans ; and would he enable Louis to convince Maxi¬
milian of the undue provocation which Liibeck does not
cease to offer. H.
323. James IV to Henry VIII, Edinburgh, September 20,
1510. r.s.s. i. 2128.
Requests safe-conduct for Lord of St. John’s and 16
persons.
324. John of Denmark on behalf of Robert Barton,
September 1510. w. i. 35.
Declaration that the bearer, Robert Barton, has fought
at sea this summer against the King’s enemies, and has
