The embassy to Denmark of June 1587 was mostly with a view to the marriage of one of the king's daughters with James VI. The ambassadors hired John Gardiner's ship the Lion of Leith for £1000 Scots. They had their first audience at Antvorskov on 27 June with the Chancellor Niels Kaas, Manderup Parsberg, and Henrik Belo, while Frederick II declined to meet them for a few days because he had toothache. It was mentioned that there had been an exchange of portraits in 1586.Annie Isabella Cameron, Warrender Papers, vol. 2 (Edinburgh, 1932), pp. 35-42: Correspondence of Sir Patrick Waus of Barnbarroch, vol. 2 (Edinburgh, 1887), pp. 396-40. Frederick II wrote to James VI that their audience was deferred.William Dunn Macray, 'Report on Archives in Denmark', 46th Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records (London, 1886), p. 30.
