English term or phrase: lured
Contexto: "Flemish weavers were eventually lured across Europe, where ironically their skill led to the success of the Gobelins factory in Paris that finally stole Flanders' crown int he late 1700's"

Creo que se refiere a que los tapiceros "se habían vuelto muy solicitados", pero creo que esta expresión es del español de mi país. No puedo verlo de otra forma y por eso apelo a la sabiduría de todos Uds. Gracias. :)

atraídos... seducidos


Explanation:
Porque un lure es un señuelo que se usa para pescar... así que si a los tejedores los atrayeron, es como una seducción... es algo con una oferta que los hace que se muevan como hipnotizados...

atraidos por XXX (a diferentes lugares de Europa)


Explanation:
atraidos por XXX (a diferentes lugares de Europa). Habria que especificar "lured by XXX", para traducirlo al pasivo y asi tener un significado mas preciso de "atraidos".
