| Abstract | This session reconstructs how English kings from Henry III to Edward III managed and repaid (or not) their debts. The first two papers show how Henry III accumulated massive debts and then negotiated settlements with his creditors after 1267. The third reveals how Edward I's Gascon supporters pledged royal debts as collateral for their own private borrowing. A fourth paper examines how Edwards II and III used assignments on future revenues to provide security for repayment. |
