Frescobaldi Family : ウィキペディア英語版
Frescobaldi

The Frescobaldi are a prominent Florentine noble family that have been involved in the political, sociological, and economic history of Tuscany since the Middle Ages. Originating in the Val di Pesa in the Chianti, they appear holding important posts in Florence in the twelfth century. In the struggles of Guelfs and Ghibellines the family was split between the Guelf factions of Bianchi and Neri, of whom only the Bianchi remained in Florence.
==Early history==
From an early economic base in the Italian community of cloth merchants in Bruges, the Frescobaldi expanded their banking interests to their home city of Florence in the 13th century.〔Sanjay Subrahmanyam, ''Merchant networks in the early modern world'' (1996:18).〕 Their power base in the city's affairs lay in their participation in the small network that controlled the great cloth-working ''Arti'': the Arte della Lana, the Arte di Calimala, the guild of cloth finishers and merchants in foreign cloth, and the ''Cambio'', or money exchange. In Florence the Frescobaldi found themselves on the wrong side in the attempted power coup of the ''Grandi'' in 1343 and were henceforth barred from public service in the Republic, but the Frescobaldi remained prominent in the lesser offices still open to them, such as ''podestà'' in the small towns governed from Florence, and through the web of marriage connections among the Florentine ruling class.
As bankers, the Frescobaldi financed ventures for numerous members of European royal families, notably their financial conquest of England, which Fernand Braudel has signalled as the greatest achievement of the Florentine firms, "not only in holding the purse-strings of the kings of England, but also in controlling sales of English wool which was vital to continental workshops and in particular to the ''Arte della Lana'' of Florence."〔Braudel, ''The Wheels of Commerce'' ("Civilization and Capitalism", II) (1979) 1982:392f.〕 In the 1270s the Frescobaldi opened an office in London and began financing the wars of King King Edward I, eventually supplanting the pioneering Riccardi of Lucca, who were driven to bankruptcy by unpaid loans made to Edward.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'' (Frescobaldi Family )〕 The Frescobaldi were receivers of the customs of England from 1307, and also served as papal tax gatherers in England, helping to finance the Crusades.〔Johnson, Hugh. ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'' p.152, Simon and Schuster, 1989〕 With the king's death in 1307, leaving a debt to all creditors that amounted to £30,000〔May McKisack, ''The Fourteenth Century'' (Oxford History of England) 1959 :14.〕 Amedeo de' Frescobaldi continued in the favoured but dangerous position under Edward II; with the fall of Walter Langton, the royal treasurer, at the outset of the new reign, the bishop's debtors, many of them Italians, were instructed to render their debts to Frescobaldi; in 1309 he was granted all the wool customs from Ireland and Scotland.〔McKisack 1959:14.〕 The barons' pressure against the influence of foreigners in the king's affairs, exemplified most prominently against the Gascon favourite, Piers Gaveston, swept up Frescobaldi, who at the time of the Ordinances of 1311 was ordered to tally up his accounts by October, and was arrested and all his goods seized.〔 Frescobaldi fled England, first to Papal Avignon and then to Florence. The royal debt was never repaid, and together with other reverses in the economic downturn of the 14th century, led to the bankruptcy of the Frescobaldi.
A second Frescobaldi bankruptcy, in 1581, Braudel traces to the general movement of capital and trade to the North.〔Braudel, ''The Perspective of the Wold'' ("Civilization and Capitalism", III) (1979) 1984:150.〕
The family included several literary figures, including Dino Frescobaldi a poet (died c. 1316) and Leonardo Frescobaldi, who visited Egypt and the Holy Land in 1384 and wrote valuable historical accounts of the countries he visited, noting their customs, social life and economics.〔(Frescobaldi Family ) Encyclopedia Britannica〕 The composer Girolamo Frescobaldi, however, does not seem to be related to them.
