5:21 Liquid= being able to be sold or converted into cash.
6:04 Yard Gaard or a Gård.
6:52 The Bergen Kontor had a wast majority of merchants from Lubeck so most but not all Yards where just people from Lubeck. Other Hansa Kontor where actually more diverse than Bryggen was.
7:00 Every Kontor had a different administrative structure plus even the administrative structure of Bryggen shown here is just the early 15th century as the structure changed over time. Also Hansa Cities where completely different from the Kontors in administration.
7:51 Of course everyone in the Kontor also had to go to church every Sunday.
9:19 No its not a coincidence that the Bergens red-light district lies so close to the Kontor. The Kontor was the largest customer of the red-light district.
11:48 King Christian IV of Denmark attended one of the initiations (in the 16th century) and found them so amusing he ordered one of his servants to take part ... he [the servant] was treated so roughly (during the hazing) that he refused to participate anymore even if the king gave him 100 gold coins. Which was equivalent at the time to 2.7 years worth of tradesman salary.
14:15 This is a suggestive term. Of course some locals hated it and some enjoyed it. It wasnt universally loved at all. There where plenty of locals that despised it.
