Following complaints from Frederick II of Denmark and Norway, who regarded the region as under his jurisdiction, Jan van der Walle moved further east and established a trading post at Podesjemco, at the mouth of the Dvina.
In March 1583 Frederick II proposed to Brunel and his Norwegian business associate, Arent Meyer, that they should undertake, at the expense of the consortium of Balthasar de Moucheron, a voyage of discovery to Greenland.
Their reward would be the reimbursement of their investments, a monopoly of trade with the country, and, if they were to establish themselves in Bergen for that purpose, six years freedom from taxation.
