The Brotherhood of the Blackheads was founded in 1399 when single members left the Great Guild, which was made up of merchants. After marriage, the Blackheads merged into the Great Guild. Later, foreign merchants residing in Reval also joined the Blackheads. The name was derived from the brotherhood's patron saint, Saint Maurice, who was depicted as a Moor.

The House of the Blackheads (Mustpeade maja) is one of the oldest and most noble building complexes in Tallinn's Old Town.
The long history of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads has given rise to legends of saints, warriors and adventurers, which are reflected today in the names of the rooms.
