Description
Summary:Thanks to the records of the port of Bilbao of the late fifteenth century, until now unknown, it has been possible to carry out an analysis of the main mercantile companies from Burgos that operated from this port with the main European jetties in the North Atlantic. But in addition, has deepened in their knowledge, and have been nuanced and corrected some previous ideas. However, the most significant contribution of this work is a prosopographic review of both these characters and of their environment: Partners, relatives, servants, factors and agents in the ports European, etc. In many cases secondary actors totally unknown, but whose work was fundamental in the business framework of the time. Gracias a los registros de averías del puerto de Bilbao de finales del siglo XV, hasta ahora desconocidos, ha sido posible realizar un análisis de las principales compañías mercantiles burgalesas que operaron desde dicho surgidero con los principales embarcaderos europeos del Atlántico Norte. Así, se han confirmado algunas de las nociones que se tenían acerca de los protagonistas del comercio internacional burgalés, sobre su importancia, volúmenes de intercambio, mercancías y destinos…; pero, además, se ha profundizado en su conocimiento, y se han matizado y corregido algunas ideas previas. Sin embargo, la aportación más significativa de este trabajo es un repaso de carácter prosopográfico tanto de dichos personajes como, y aquí reside la mayor novedad, de su entorno.
