Years: 1556 - 1556
Chancellor’s fleet tries in October/November 1556 to winter in Trondheim.
The Bona Esperanza sinks, the Bona Confidentia appears to have entered the fjord but is never heard of again, and the Phillip and Mary successfully winters in Trondheim to arrive in London next April the 18th.
The Edward does not attempt to enter, instead reaching the Scottish coast and being wrecked at Pitlago on the seventh of November.
Chancellor drowns but Osep Nepeya, the Russian envoy, manages to reach the coast, where he is taken hostage by the Scots for a few months before being able to travel on to London.
