Abstract

The bankruptcy of Thompson and Company is relatively well documented, especially when compared to what is known about the institution, its partners, or its creditors. This is because the main sources for examining Thompson and Company, the Chancery proceedings, primarily refer to the collapse of the bank. Despite there being a greater number of sources, however, the significance of Thompson and Company’s bankruptcy and how typical it was of bankruptcy in this period has not been addressed in existing scholarship. This chapter outlines the bankruptcy of Thompson and Company, demonstrating the unusually harsh procedures the partners faced and the wider significance of the case to the historiography of bankruptcy in early modern England.
