When the [[Bergendii]] ceded administrative control of [[Aumiers|Aumiers colony]] to Maresia Regio in [[1573]] a number of advisors and merchants were retained. The merchants were so skilled at bringing revenue for the rulers that [[Bergendii]] merchants, increasingly those of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] owned and sailed the majority of ships coming into surrounding ports. During the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]], the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] secured warrants for trade monopolies in most ports of [[Cartadania]] and through royal marriages to the [[House of De Pardo]] to some ports in [[Pelaxia]] as well. These monopoly warrants were largely rescinded in the partition period with only a few remained by the dissolution of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]].
