John Fuxell, an Englishman, was the brother in law of William Lydall [SSNE 6557] who had established and built an ironworks in Akershus region of Norway at a place which the Dutchman Hugo Bedow had previously held. In 1579 the royal authorisation for the ironworks was extended for a total of 20 years, which included permission for Fuxell, Lydall and his descendants to construct additional ironworks in Akershus. By 1584 Lydall had ceased working with iron but it remains unclear whether Fuxell had also stopped
