Merchant Marine of Burgundie: Difference between revisions

The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant fleet became the defacto merchant marine of [[Cartadania]] through a series of legal and passive actions taken on the parts of both nations. When the [[Bergendii]] ceded administrative control of [[Aumiers|Aumiers colony]] to Milan 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 These monopoly warrants were largely rescinded in the partition period with only a few remained by the dissolution of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]]. During the 19th century the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] carried [[Caratdania]]n cargo off and on as the political winds and priorities shifted, namely the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] and the [[First Fratricide]]. The expanding colony in [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] was taking up most of the resources and time of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Company]] but trade to and from [[Cartadania]] was vital to the colonies growth.
