Abstract

Take, for example, the case of Pyre and a certain I Augustyn i , whom Pyre identified in his account book as a priest and schoolmaster from Riga. During Pyre's lifetime the Hanse fought sporadically with Denmark between 1426 and 1441, and long-running diplomatic and economic disputes with Russian rulers could worsen unpredictably, such as in the mid-1420s when the grand duke of Novgorod imprisoned 150 Hanse merchants. The range of characters in Pyre's account book and the variety of wares he traded also reflects more generally Danzig's role as one of the leading commercial and financial centres of the Baltic world.
