Robert Sturmy wasa 15th century Bristol merchant who led a commercial expedition fromthat port in 1457-58 to break the Italian monopoly on trade to theEastern Mediterranean. If he had been successful, it would have allowedEngland to gain direct access to both the Oriental spices that enteredEurope via the Ottoman Empire and to alum from Chios. His three-shipvoyage was backed by powerful interests in England, but opposed by theItalian merchants who controlled most of Europe's long-distance tradeand banking at this time. In the event, the ships succeeded inconducting their trade but were then set upon by Genoese-backed pirateson their return home. At the end of what was reported to be a three-dayrunning battle, the Bristol fleet was captured off Malta with the lossof 128 men, including Sturmy.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 60 pp. Englisch.
