Anglo-Hanseatic War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anglo-Hanseatic War lasted from 1470-1474 between England and the Hanseatic League led by the cities of Danzig and Lübeck. Causes of the war include increasing English pressure against the trade of the Hanseatic cities of the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The war was fought mainly by the use of the naval strategy of commerce raiding in the North Sea and the English Channel. One of the most successful Man of war was the Peter von Danzig. Cologne opposed the war and was temporarily excluded from the Hansa for this. The war concluded with the Treaty of Utrecht in 1474 which granted the Hanseatic League ownership of the Steelyard of London.
