Timelines don’t match[edit]

Timelines between when it was written and who was king at the time don’t match up. It says here that it was a royal decree by Haakon IV of Norway, but he died around 35 years before the Sheep Letter was enacted. I think the correct king was Haakon V Magnusson. Timeline and name of the king on the Faroese museum website seems to match as well. EJ1989 (talk) 23:07, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That was indeed a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. Excommunicato (talk) 01:52, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
