- Summary
- This pioneering work is the first major study to illuminate London's mercantile economy throughout the whole of the Middle Ages. It traces its development against a background of plague, foreign competition, war, the Peasants' Revolt, and shortages of coin. It also reveals how a mercantile company functioned, how it affected its members' lives, and what part it played in the social control of the City.
- This study of a major group of merchants who helped to build up London's wealth and political influence during the Middle Ages throws new light on the history of the City.
