«Resources on the history of the Fugger family
The Fugger family, a family of weavers that had moved to Augsburg in 1367, in the course of the 15th and 16th century became one of Europe's most powerful merchant dynasties. Ennobled at the beginning of the 16th century, the Fuggers started to withdraw step by step from business during the second half of the century. In the decades following 1600 they adopted an aristocratic lifestyle.
