Editing Vinland (section)

==Later Norse voyages==
Icelandic chronicles record another attempt to visit Vinland from Greenland, over a century after the saga voyages. In 1121, Icelandic bishop [[Erik Gnupsson|Eric Gnupsson]], who had been based on Greenland since 1112, "went to seek Vinland". Nothing more is reported of him, and three years later another bishop, Arnald, was sent to Greenland. No written records, other than inscribed stones, have survived in Greenland, so the next reference to a voyage also comes from Icelandic chronicles. In 1347, a ship arrived in Iceland, after being blown off course on its way home from Markland to Greenland with a load of [[timber]]. The implication is that the Greenlanders had continued to use [[Markland]] as a source of timber over several centuries.<ref>chronicle entries translated in A.M. Reeves et al.
