Merchant Adventurers

Japanese: マーチャント・アドベンチャラーズ(英語表記)Merchant Adventurers
Merchant Adventurers
A merchant who monopolized the export of woolen fabrics (unfinished broadcloth) from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period in England. He organized the Merchant Adventurers Guild. He was a national merchant who rose to prominence in the 14th and 15th centuries, pushing back staple merchants and driving out foreign merchants such as the Hanseatics and Italian merchants, thereby promoting the development of the woolen industry in England. He formed his own organizations in various bases around the country, such as London, Hull, York, Exeter, and Bristol, but in 1564 he was granted a letter of charter by Queen Elizabeth II to form a unified guild.
