An association; a league or confederacy.

{Hanse towns} (Hist.), certain commercial cities in Germany
which associated themselves for the protection and
enlarging of their commerce. The confederacy, called also
{Hansa} and {Hanseatic league}, held its first diet in
1260, and was maintained for nearly four hundred years. At
one time the league comprised eighty-five cities. Its
remnants, L["u]beck, Hamburg, and Bremen, are {free
cities}, and are still frequently called Hanse towns.
