	Hanseatic League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hanseatic League (German: die Hanse) was an alliance of trading cities that established and maintained a trade monopoly over most of Northern Europe and the Baltic for a time in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period (ie between the 13th and 17th century).
		The origins of the League are generally seen as the foundation of the new town of Lübeck in 1158/9 after the capture of the area by Henry the Lion of Saxony.
		In fact, at the height of its power in the late 1300s, the merchants of the Hanseatic League were able to use their economic clout (and sometimes their military might - trade routes needed protecting, and the League's ships were well-armed) to influence Imperial policy.

	i-Friesland history: The Hanseatic League
		As tax revenues started to flow from the free towns in the Hanseatic alliance to emperors and dukes, the merchants were in a position to influence the lords to pass laws to protect the Hansa cargoes.
		Hanseatic merchants established counting houses - or beurs - in four different cities: Novogorod in Russia, Bergen in Norway, the Steel Yard in London, and Bremen in Flanders.
		Indeed the cities of Hamburg, Lubeck, and Bremen continued to be known as Hanseatic cities until the end of the 19th century.

	Prof. Rainer Postel, The Hanseatic League and its Decline
		In the Hanseatic reply the Lübeck syndic stated that the Hansa was neither a society nor a corporation, it owned no joint property, no joint till, no executive officials of their own; it was a tight alliance of many towns and communities to pursue their respective own trading interests securely and profitably.
		So there was a smaller circle of Hanseatic towns that took part in trade, were invited to the meetings and influenced their decisions, and a wider circle, whose merchants also benefited from Hanseatic privileges.
		In order to reestablish Hanseatic trade and privileges, which suffered many losses during the war, it was their aim to explicitly include the Hansa in the peace treaty finally sealed in 1648.
