Corsairs of Saint-Malo Hillmann Henning
Western Europe rose in global power during the early modern period as overseas expansion opened new trade routes. Henning Hillmann examines the merchant community of Saint-Malo, Brittany, a key port in the French Atlantic economy, to shed light on the local networks that linked commerce and conflict in early modern Europe.Hillmann traces the development of Saint-Malo and the social structure of its merchant elite from the 1680s through the onset of the French Revolution. At the same time, intense rivalries pitted European states against one another in recurrent wars.
In wartime, rulers commissioned ship-owning traders to fit out vessels as corsairs to raid enemy shipping. Within He pinpoints the role of privateering, showing how it enabled local merchant communities to secure their hold on established trades, seize new opportunities, and withstand the threats of armed conflict.
