It is noticeable also that those
stamped 1523, which were presumably issued for an öre, contain a trifle
more in value than those stamped 1522, and called an öre and a half. As
none of them have any value stamped upon their face, it was a simple
matter to start the figure high, and then reduce it to what the coin
would bring.

[89] No one apparently wished to father the expedition. Svart, who
presents the king's side of the case, says, in his _Gust. I.'s krön._,
pp. 78-81, that Gustavus undertook the campaign at the urgent
solicitation of Lubeck, who promised to defer payment of her loan for
several years without interest, provided Gustavus would undertake the
war. This proposition appears generous, but there is no trace of it in
the contemporary letters of the king. Those letters assert that Brask
was the prime mover of the scheme; but as Brask repudiated it at once,
the responsibility for it cannot be fairly laid on him. See _Kon. Gust.
den Förstes registrat._, vol. i. pp. 190 and 301.
