Text source

Daniel Norcombe was an English violinist who served at the court of King Christian IV from 14 October 1599. He was probably recruited by John Stocks, an English London-based merchant in the Danish king's service, who had been specifically ordered in August 1599 to find a violinist who would accept a wage of 350 daler.
