Vitalians

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)[reply]

Trivial

Trivial, but there was no such thing as a liter in 1400. The Commissioners of the Treasury's Ale Gallon is just over 4.6 Liters.

>

'He got his name allegedly because he could swallow an ale gallon {just over four & half liters} of beer without taking the beaker from his mouth.'

He could drink a gallon of beer...

Victual Brothers / Likedeelers

This is NOT worded too well. It suggests that Klaus Störtebeker had solely leadership with the Likedeelers, but never with their predecessors, the Victual Brothers. Hah, no, this is wrong, he had leadership in BOTH, albeit not exclusive leadership: in fact him and Gödeke Michels were respecting themselves to the fullest---you could even say they were good friends---and so Störtebeker (known as being very adamant normally) never tried to compete with him nor outdo him in any way. So, the gist of my "inquiry" is, that Störtebeker be mentioned also in the Victual Brothers section, not only in the Likedeelers section. -andy 77.7.108.164 (talk) 22:03, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds all well and good, but until you do the edit and cite your sources, it's just a comment on a talk page. No worries - I found the source to support your statement in Meier, and will make the change. LTC (Ret.) David J. Cormier (talk) 17:39, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Someone trying to kill the article

It looks like someone is trying to kill the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:5602:4C00:B1B3:2E31:E94:5DF8 (talk) 16:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Large revert

I reverted from this version to a one in 2022]. With so many tags, the article was simply unreadable, and it also lacked clear structure. The citations in the <ref> tags were excessive and contained commentary.

At the same time, it seems that there was some good expansion in the reverted part. I will try to slowly work on it to salvage what I can. Let me know if you disagree, as it was a very large revert. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 16:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
