David B,
it's not 'ultra-marina' in the Papal documents - It's written directly as
tithes from 'Vinlandia' delivered by Ivar Bardson in Bergen 25th june 1364!

Going back even further a post from Kaare Albert Lie

"Communications between Greenland and Norway
were not good, so apart from material objects as furs delivered
at Bergen and the large nut "from the other side of the ocean" -
the coconut that was made into a bowl with silver feet and handed
over to the representative of the Pope, I know no other
influences going east. If some could be found, it would be most
interesting to learn about them."

It's worth bearing in mind that the original Latin "ultramarina" does not
necessarily mean "from the other side of the ocean"- "overseas" would be a
more neutral translation.

By the way, where was Bardson in 1327?

Playing in his parents' yard quite a lot of the time, I suspect.
