Summary

Using a wide range of various sources (legislative, private legal, and narrative) the author of the monograph investigates business world of London of the 14^th — 16^th centuries which can be seen from three main angles. These are society and power, economic activity, private life and values. The author shows that in the 14^th — 16^th centuries London and its business world were the most mature clearly reflecting the leading tendencies in town life development of the transitional period from the Middle Ages to the Modern Time.

A complex of various types of activities: trade, lending operations, crown financing, production and entrepreneurship, investment into real estate in towns and counts of England, and participation in the political life and governance of London was a sign of belonging to a business community. Such a diversity of activities was typical of the majority of men of business, especially aldermen who made not only the richest and the most commercially active part of society but also formed the ruling elite of the city.
