This book brings to life the extraordinary story of Richard Whittington, from his arrival in London as a young boy to his death in 1423, against a backdrop of plague, political instability and war; turbulence between Crown, City and Commons; and the financial demands of three kings, to whomWhittington was mercer, lender and fixer.Whittington was a man determined to follow his own path, in life and in death, and a significant figure in London's ceaseless development. A leading voice for social reform, a bulwark against corruption and a figure of largesse, he contributed to Henry V's victory at Agincourt and even oversaw building works at Westminster Abbey. In As an entrepreneur, common councillor, Collector of the Wool Custom, King's Council member and four-time mayor, Whittington figured prominently in the rise of the capital's merchant class and powerful livery Companies.
