In 16th century, vitalians was possible generalized term for mariners since it abbrevated recruited mariners from Gulf of Bothnia.

The reference to Vitalienbruder sacking Bergen in 1429 makes it sound as if there is some continuity between these and the Vitalienbruder of the 1390s. There is no evidence that any organisation, even any individuals, of the original Vitalienbruder survived later than 1401. The name was applied to pirates who behaved similarly in the 1420s but they were not the same.~WMEP1981 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.112.50 (talk) 14:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
