- English abstract
- This article explores capital networks for urban debt by analyzing the external relations of the Brunswick annuity market in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is based on an examination of data on foreign buyers of Brunswick (Braunschweig) annuities from the unpublished 'Weddeschatbücher' that registered sales of redeemable annuities. The analysis takes into account different groups of buyers and reveals spatial patterns corresponding with those of commodity trade and political cooperation within and beyond the region. A closer look at the chronology of sales indicates that political crises were the main cause of urban debt and foreign investment.
