Notes


English merchants in Bordeaux


Nathan Wright

Little documentation is available on Nathan Wright's commercial activities prior to the mid-1640s, though Wright may have been located in Bordeaux in 1628.[1] If this is so, he may have started in the French wine trade, as did the Bristol born, but later London based, merchant, Sir Mathew Hollsworthy, whose family had strong historical links with Spanish trading.



Suggested image sources


View of Bordeaux and the river Garonne, signed by Jollain (engraving). C17th. Located at Biblioteca de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.
