Dear Lowlanders,

I mentioned the Likedeeler pirates:

 The crews led by the Liekedeeler pirates (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likedeeler) Klaus Störtebeker (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_St%C3%B6rtebeker), Gödeke Michels (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6deke_Michels), Henning Wichmann (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hennig_Wichmann), Master Wigbold (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magister_Wigbold) and others had a limited
reach and clearly spoke Middle Saxon, though there seem to have been
Frisians among them (and Störtebeker's wife was Frisian).



There is a copy of the contract of reparation between England's Henry IV and
the Hanseatic League:

It contains a litany of alleged sins committed by the Hanseats, their
privateers and the pirates.
