Victual Brothers, Vitalien Brothers ya da Vitalian Brethren (Almanca: Vitalienbrüder,^:146Norveççe: Vitaliebrødrene) 14. yüzyılda Germen korsanlardan oluşan gevşek bir şekilde organize edilmiş bir loncaydı. Başlangıçta Mecklenburg soylularını içeriyordu, ancak daha sonra sıradan insanlardan oluşan bir örgüt haline geldi ve daha sonra korsanlığa dönüştü.^:146ff Loncanın o dönemde Kuzey ve Baltık Denizlerindeki deniz ticareti üzerinde açık bir tarihsel etkisi vardır. Korsan olarak, abluka altındaki yerlerden tedarik sağladılar; bunun dışında Danimarka Kraliçesi ve Mecklenburg ve Doğu Frizya hükümdarlarının da aralarında bulunduğu müşterileriyle birlikte^:146f bölgesel yöneticiler adına bir deniz birliği olarak hizmet ettiler. Faaliyetleri korsanlığa dönüştükçe amaçlar kişisel zenginleşmeye yöneldi.

Gotland'daki üssün İsveç kralı Albrekt tarafından Töton Şövalyeleri'ne verilmesi, Gotland'ın işgaline ve Visby'nin Konrad von Jungingen ve Şövalyeler tarafından 1398'de yok edilmesine yol açmıştır. Bu müdahale, Hamburg'da gruplarından bazılarının idam edilmesi ve Hansa Birliği'nin Baltık Denizi üzerinde kontrol etme ve güvenli ticaret yapma yönündeki devam eden çabası, denizcilik etkilerinin değişmesine ve grubun gerilemesine yol açmıştır.

The Chronicle of Lubeck, by the scribe Detmar [says]: 'In the same year, when the ships from Rostock and Wismar were setting sail for Stockholm under Duke Johann, the men from [those towns] made a proclamation that whosoever wished to try his luck as a freebooter at his own expense, in order to harm the realms of Denmark and Norway, should assemble… to be given 'letters-of-marque'… which gave them leave freely to share out, exchange, and sell the plundered goods. The Prince ordered that the same be proclaimed, and that the ports of Ribnitz and Golwitz should be opened for all… who wished to harm those aforementioned realms.' In this way, the nobility of Mecklenburg entered into a compact with bands of roving and unorganised pirates… The poverty of some of the minor aristocracy may well have encouraged them to support and indeed join the pirates, in the hope of sharing some of ther booty… [p. 147] The Vitalienbrüder became a new and unpredictable power, no longer beholden to anyone. In the written sources, we not only find the name 'Vitalienbrüder', but also 'Likedeeler' ('equal sharers'). Yet the risks the pirates took were not small.
