My
Grandfather was a Teutonic Knight, being defeated at Tannenberg
and bankrupted. So where I should be rather well off,
I am lacking of funds. I get most of my supplies from
armourers contracted by the City. Due to my very small
grant of land, I have to go through grants by the Fugger
and Medici bankers to pay for most of my supplies. I
am in debt.

c.1459
Jakob Fugger II, German banker. He minted his own money
and maintained banks in every European capital. He held
a contract for managing the Pope's money and collected
cash for the remission of sins. He bankrolled the election
of Charles V (grandson of Maximilian I, and great-grandson
of Emperor Frederick III).
Traveling
can be a very dangerous thing, especially since plague ravages
the land roughly every decade. So I am glad to
have these friends with me.....
