Sweden's 1398 Victual Brothers: Pirates of the Baltic

9 min•11 juni 2026

Before Sweden became a great power, the Baltic Sea was lawless. In the late 14th century, the Victual Brothers — a pirate confederation born during a siege of Stockholm — terrorized Hanseatic traders and even seized Gotland. This episode follows their rise, their leader Klaus Störtebeker, and the 1398 Teutonic invasion that ended their reign. Lucas and Luna unpick the blurred line between privateer and pirate, the politics of the Kalmar Union, and how the Victual Brothers shaped Sweden's maritime future.
