Conclusion. 330 $aThe Late Middle Ages (c.1300?c.1500) saw the development of many of the key economic institutions of the modern unitary nation-state in Europe. After the ?commercial revolution? of the thirteenth century, taxes on trade became increasingly significant contributors to government finances, and as such there were ever greater efforts to control the flow of goods and money. This book presents a case study of the commercial and financial links between the kingdom of England and the duchy of Aquitaine across the late-medieval period, with a special emphasis on the role of the English Plantagenet government that had ruled both in a political union since 1154. It establishes a strong connection between fluctuations in commodity markets, large monetary flows and unstable financial markets, most notably in trade credit and equity partnerships. It shows how the economic relationship deteriorated under the many exogenous shocks of the period, the wars, plagues and famines, as well as politically motivated regulatory intervention. Despite frequent efforts to innovate in response, both merchants and governments experienced a series of protracted financial crises that presaged the break-up of the union of kingdom and duchy in 1453, with the latter?s conquest by the French crown. Of particular interest to scholars of the late-medieval European economy, this book will also appeal to those researching wider economic or financial history. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Finance,$x2662-5164 606 $aFinance?History 606 $aTrade 606 $aBusiness 606 $aCommerce 606 $aEurope?History?476-1492 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aFinancial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/617000 606 $aTrade$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527010 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070 606 $aPublic Finance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/611000 615 0$aFinance?History. 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aCommerce. 615 0$aEurope?History?476-1492. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 14$aFinancial History. 615 24$aTrade. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aPublic Finance. 676 $a382.094 676 $a382.0942044730902 700 $aBlackmore$b Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0999604 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910380751403321 996 $aGovernment and Merchant Finance in Anglo-Gascon Trade, 1300?1500$92294585 997 $aUNINA
