This was the first time in history that the word hanse was used for the trading guild of the Hanseatic League. |
|
On 8 November 1266, a contract between Henry III and Hamburg's traders allowed them to establish a hanse in London. |
|
The Hanse merchants were a special case, and could have their own base in Lynn. |
|
During Elizabeth's reign they succeeded in seeing off the challenge of the Hanse, but protests against their monopoly persisted and the advocates of free trade gained ground. |
|
Omer, France in the 11th century and London's Hanse was formed in the 12th century. |
|
After the Hanse fell in the 16th century, Flensburg was said to be one of the most important trading towns in the Scandinavian area. |
|
Before the official foundation of the league in 1356, the word Hanse did not occur in the Baltic language. |
|
A number of boats will be on show, names such as Fairline Wales, Hanse, Jeanneau, Beneteau, Robalo, Chapparal, Quicksilver and Bayliner, plus over 100 used boats. |
