England throws out German salesmen, 1597

This is a follow-on to the last post. It turns out that the English merchants thrown out of "Germany" (which did not actually exist at that time) were victims of ongoing power struggles between the Hanseatic League and English and Dutch trading interests. In the same year, 1597, Elizabeth I closed the Steelyard, the trading post of the League in London. The League gradually declined and was effectively defunct by the end of the 17thC.

Germany throws out English sales people, 11th August, 1597

According to History Orb's site for today in history, and several other "this day in history" lists, English sales people were expelled from Germany on August 11th, 1597. This looked an interesting subject to write about, but I cannot find any more information on it...including the Today in German History site....(pause for short excursion into the excellent beer section of their site).
Maybe the Bad History blog carnival will be interested in this and can start a campaign for more research links to be provided from these one-liner sites.
