Dear Tiina
I am sorry that I could not answer you before, but I could, on the other
hand, not have given a better answer that Thomas Izbicki. The period in
question is not the periode with which I am working. I am working with
the 13. century, and in this periode Eubel is a constant course for
concern. He relies heavily on sources from the Papal archives, and not
Danish archives, which means that he often give incorrect information.
One of the Danish historians that has written most about the connections
between Lund and Reval is Niels Skyum-Nielsen. I know that he has written
at least two articles on the subject in German, but unfortunatly I don't
have the references.
Bo Gregersen, Stirling
