The navigation became worse and worse, more and more seldom: 
in 1383 a ship came, for instance, to Norway, which announced that 
bishop Arr had been dead for six years. And it is easily understood 
that under these conditions there were only few who cared to go to Green- 
land as bishop. From 1349—68, therefore for 19 years, the country was 
without one — there were however continually appointed bishops, but 
most of them remained in other countries and never saw their See. 
Long after all connection between Greenland and Scandinavia was 
broken, we find entitled bishops, appointed from the first mentioned 
country. Thus was the case far into the 16th century — when for ex- 
ample, Vincentius was mentioned (about 1530).
