TY - GEN T1 - A medieval mercantile community : the grocers' company & the politics & trade of London, 1000-1485 A1 - Nightingale, Pamela LA - English PP - New Haven, Conn PB - Yale University Press YR - 1995 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1032613636 AB - 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. 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.
