A Day in the Life of a Tudor Merchant |
![]() |
You walk into the Angel which is full of people and very warm. There's a large fire blazing in the ornate fireplace, creating a smoky haze in the room. You are about to go to the bar when someone calls you. "Master Pryn!" It's the vintner. "Ah Madam Sandbank. I've just come from my ship. There's 80 tons of wine on board." "80 tons? Alright, well I can give you 8 pence per gallon for that." "Excellent. That sounds like a fair price." "Why don't we have some lunch and then we'll complete the trade." Congratulations you've got the job done, you'll be able to pay the crew later and have money left over to invest in the next trading voyage. Perhaps you can go up to the market later and haggle over the price of some cloth to export to Spain again. THE END Start again? Back to Tudor Bristol main menu |
