Grant of North Ferry to Orkney

The legacy row asserts a 1496 grant of the north ferry to Jan de Groote, but this event is not mentioned in the supplied source passages.

The provided texts confirm James IV's reign and Orkney's location but do not contain evidence of a ferry grant to Jan de Groote. The specific date of 1 January 1496 from the legacy row is unsupported, and the event remains unverified by the available evidence.
