We went to England and pillaged
You’re welcome
It’s no great mystery
Trump should have pressed Denmark to buy the uninhabited parts of the island or maybe just half of it. The wealth in minerals is priceless.

Within the last year or two, I read “The Frozen Echo”, Greenland and the Exploration of North America ca A.D. 1000-1500 by Kirsten A. Searver, 1996
She studied Catholic Church records and discovered much interesting information on the Viking residents of Greenland. The church was interested in the tithes of all its people. Her maps show that they all lived prety much between 20-50 km from the permanent ice sheet the extent of which was and probably now is determined mainly by the temperature of the ocean water. I doubt if the “little ice age” was responsible for their disappearance.
The vexed issue of the Kensington Runestone and the lost Greenland Colony. The king of Sweden and Norway in 1354 believed that there were Christian Danes in Greenland.

SNIP......”Furthermore, in 1354, King Magnus Eriksson of Sweden and Norway issued a letter appointing a law officer named Paul Knutsson as leader of an expedition to the colony of Greenland, in order to investigate reports that the population was turning away from Christian culture.[39] Another of the documents reprinted by the 19th-century scholars was a scholarly attempt by Icelandic Bishop Gisli Oddsson, in 1637, to compile a history of the Arctic colonies. He dated the Greenlanders’ fall away from Christianity to 1342 and claimed that they had turned instead to America. Supporters of a 14th-century origin for the Kensington Runestone argue that Knutson may, therefore, have travelled beyond Greenland to North America in search of renegade Greenlanders, whereupon most of his expedition was killed in Minnesota, leaving just the eight voyagers to return to Norway.[40]”
However, there is no evidence that the Knutson expedition ever set sail (the government of Norway went through considerable turmoil in 1355) and the information from Cnoyen as relayed by Mercator states specifically that the eight men who came to Norway in 1364 were not survivors of a recent expedition, but descended from the colonists who had settled the distant lands several generations earlier.[38] Those early 19th-century books, which aroused a great deal of interest among Scandinavian Americans, would have been available to a late 19th-century hoaxer. “
