Скачать или смотреть Bought an Empire: Inside the Fugger Money Machine

Boring history for sleep: a calm history explainer on the Fugger family—Augsburg financiers who used mining monopolies, papal finance, and election loans to shape the 1519 Imperial election and early-modern Europe. Educational; no explicit visuals.

From cloth traders to continent-shaping bankers: Jakob Fugger leveraged Tyrol/Hungary copper & silver leases, the pepper trade, and indulgence finance to bankroll Charles V in 1519. We unpack election capitulations, credit webs, collateral, rivals (Medici, Genoese), state defaults, and why Fugger power peaked then faded—plus the Fuggerei that survives today. Sources over myths; clear narration, sleep-friendly pacing.
