Everything about G Deke Michels totally explained
Gödeke Michels (died
1402), also known as
Gottfried Michaelsen, was a German pirate and one of the leaders of the
Likedeeler, a combination of former Vitalienbrüder.
Together with
Klaus Störtebeker,
Hennig Wichman and
Magister Wigbold, as well as other leaders of the Likedeeler, he raided shipping in the
North and
Baltic Sea near the end of the 14th century.
They possessed fast ships, which easily outmaneuvered the ships of the
Hanse. Like many of the Likedeeler, Michels was primarily concerned with capturing valuable prizes. However, he disdained cowardice and those surviving crewmen who hadn't resisted were usually thrown overboard.
Michels was eventually captured and executed in the year 1402, shortly after Klaus Störtebeker and crewmen were beheaded on the Grasbrook in
Hamburg.
