Abstract


The bankruptcy of the valencian moneychanger Francesc de Pals, in 1316, was another one in the long sequence of banking failures that happened in the Western Mediterranean Sea, and specially in Valencia, by the end of XIIIth Century. Thc conservation of ths process where his creditors shared out his inheritance is the staring point for a breakdown on the nascent financial world of Valencia only half a Century after its integration to Christian Europe. So, native moneychangers had already developped at this time a business network that included important relations with Italy and the South of France, and they had even settled agents in Seville. The connexion between Francesc de Pals and the militar and piratical enterprises that the noble Jaspert de Castellnou carried out in the Straits of Gibraltar was just the start to his final collapse.
