Elizabethan Trade with Europe, c. 1600

A map illustrating the flourishing English trade with Europe during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England (r. 1558-1603). Following the abolishment of the Hanseatic merchants’ Baltic monopoly, access to a new commodities market in Amsterdam, and establishment of various trade companies (Muscovy, Eastland, Levant, and East India), the English merchants could now exchange wool and woolen cloth for grain, timber, oriental spices and continental wine, furs, silk, gems and exotic fruit from as far away as China, Africa, and the Americas.

  7. ontheocean said: In that period, one of the main products exported from Wallachia into Western Europe was a specific type of gelding horse commonly known as Wallach, although it is unlikely that it was sold directly in England. John Smith, the famous English adventurer and later first governor of Jamestown settlement in Virginia, was one of the fighters present in Transylvania during the campaign and afterwards.
