The unique discovery of a merchants brothers pair's accounts throws elaborate light on Hansa commerce. Despite the protection of the mighty German Order's knights and fleet, the Ostsee route was badly hindered by major piracy which was became the stuff of legends. Thus the land route to Venice over the Alps became an attractive alternative again. However usury by the Lombards often ruined merchants who saw no alternative to keep in business. The colonial trade would take over in the 16th century as Europe's major wealth source, gradually rendering the Hanse obsolete, yet it as never formally disbanded. Written by KGF Vissers See less
