Description: In a chronological narrative, John Fudge examines the economic and political interaction of England and the German trading towns known as the Hanse in the second half of the fifteenth century. He assesses Hanseatic trade in English ports and the mercantile development of principal Hanseatic towns, as well as the institutional stability of the Hanse itself.

Using largely unpublished manuscript sources from archives in England and northern Europe, John Fudge provides a comprehensive analysis of Anglo-Hanseatic trade and new interpretations of the vulnerability of the German Hanse as a political entity.
