Nor was the perpetual presence of enterprising Hansa merchants in factories, such as the London Stele- yard, calculated to promote good feeling, though introducing a large bulk of German goods into the country.

Until late in the fifteenth century, however, the differences between the military equipment of Germany and England is more marked than between that of England and France, which country with the Netherlands formed a natural barrier that only strong common interests would effectively bridge.
