Abstract

This chapter offers a detailed analysis of the goods routinely exchanged in Anglo-Gascon trade across 1300–1500, how their markets functioned, and the trajectories in their price and volume. The volatility in the market for wine is emphasised. Though trade levels declined spectacularly in scale over the fourteenth century, it remained the key export from Aquitaine to England. There was a paucity of alternatives, especially during periods of conflict, yet in the other direction went a plethora of commodities, with choices evolving across the period: wool was substituted for cloth, and, after the opening of the Hundred Years’ War in 1337 and arrival of the Black Death in 1348–9, food was increasingly shipped.
