Summary
<p>This week Neil follows the money!</p><br /><p>By the C13th the Hanseatic League had crystalised its power base and was busy spinning lucrative trading routes right across northern Europe, from the Baltic to the British Isles. Neil travels to the Norfolk town of Kings Lynn, which thanks to the Hanseatic League became the third richest port in England. Two building survive from this time, St George’s Guildhall and the Hanse House, structures that are stunning testament to the wealth and international trade that flowed through Kings Lynn during the League dominance. The Hanseatic League was an ultra-powerful trading bloc, not adverse to dabbling in national politics, that lasted for almost three centuries.</p><br /><p>Check out, Neil’s history and commentary Videos<strong> </strong>on his Patreon site - Neil Oliver.</p><p> </p><p>The series Instagram account is – Neil Oliver Love Letter</p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
