Initial comments

Nicknamed 'the rich fugger' - that can't be serious. --Pengutron (talk) 08:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest thing about the Fugger family is that they were important bankers in the late 16th century and early 17th century... a fact whic the article never mentions (it stops in the early 16th century). The article should be extended to included the most important part of this family's history. -- 08:41, 9 October 2006 67.160.106.255

Agree -- the so-called "Fugger news-letters" of the late 16th / early 17th should also be mentioned... AnonMoos (talk) 19:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also important is what happened to the family fortune. Did the bankruptcy of Philip II ruin the family? Myron (talk) 13:22, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

With all seriousness I can muster: the German Wikipedia mentions the original writing of the name Fugger, wich was Fucker [ˈfʊkɐ] when they arrived in Augsburg. Worth mentioning? Struthio Ostrich (talk) 20:30, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Fugger family was a German upper-bourgeois family based in Augsburg that was a prominent group of European merchants and bankers who controlled much of the European economy in the 16th century and accumulated enormous wealth. This ten-ducat gold coin was struck by the family in 1621 for the County of Kirchberg and Weissenhorn, which they ruled from 1536 to 1806.

Needs to be a good byword on the Fugger coat of arms. Why the armless black woman wearing a pope hat and why the Fleur de Lys?

Source for mining in Scandinavia?

Hi, the article isn't exactly bristling with references. I'd be interested in refs for the title of this post. T 2A02:FE1:E16B:CC00:DA63:B162:420A:CA58 (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
