 The Faroese men who had traveled all the way to Kolding said that they wished to have a man called Magnus Heinason to be the commander of ships doing trade with their islands.The king did not want to make this decision himself; instead, he turned the matter over to his treasurer and statholder Christoffer Valkendorff.He was to decide what was in best interest for the king, since he was the one who had proposed to the king to begin a monopoly on the Faeroe Islands.
