Summary

Like the additional Dunkirk documents, these papers from the Spellikens demonstrate the considerable extent to which the convents were integrated into the financial dealings of Flanders, drawing here on a mix of large financial businesses such as the banking operations of the Cantillon family and the firm of Geo. Waters & Co, with branches in London and Paris, working with agents such as the bankers Jean Nettine of Brussels and John Brussell.
