Join us for a fascinating talk on The Hanseatic League and its Legacy, given by Jens Tholstrup. 

How did an association of trading merchants of the Holy Roman Empire evolve to become the pre-eminent trading association which dominated trade in the Baltic and North Sea for close to 500 years? What lessons can be learned from the so-called Hanseatic League? And how can the Hansa legacy be evaluated?
