Archbishop Jakob died in 1361, and was buried on the 18th of February inLund. Niels Joensen, a clerk who is faithful to Valdemar and said tohave been from Jylland, is appointed his successor. Later that year theHansa offer Valdemar 1,200 marks for the return of their priviledges.Valdemar demands 4,000, and the Hansa agree. Then Valdemar conquersGotland, one of the Hansa's own territories. The Hansa allies itselfwith Magnus and Haakan and send a fleet up the sound. Valdemar defeatsit, then reaffirms his previous alliance with Magnus and Haakan.Haakan's intended bride, Elisabeth of Holstein, is intercepted on her wayto Sweden by Niels Joensen and held captive on Bornholm.
