James money problems (1 juin 1610 – 1 juill. 1625)

Description:

Money was a problem for James now having to show off all his wealth even though England was a poor nation and crumbling even more an effect of this was because of the little Ice Age that was coming and had been going on within these winters crops would start to die an inflation would happen with not enough product matching demand so then sheep caused a lot of debt this was because sheep were used for two things will to keep people warm and also could be served with food so farmers were getting more sheep than crops because they knew the crops would die but not the sheep with that being now less food in England whilst in this time James was supporting the idea of ante suppers which is another reason for his money problems this is where a big feast would take place before eating the meal would be cooked to show a presentation of what you would be eating 40 this was a huge waste of food and money and resources a super like this would cost normally 35,000 pounds which is £4.7 million today also other problems with James is that he loved fashion and everything that was new every two to three months he had to have a new wardrobe change where everything could be bought brand new but sadly James had no choice because he hyped himself and England too much that he had to show and prove this he couldn't look weak to his friends Cos of a wise his allies would break so he just dug himself into a bigger hole with doing extravagant parties being better more expensive each time as the economy was crumbling
