  • 3. Total denizen and alien wine imports into London 1480–1481, 3820 tuns, including 50 tuns of sweet wine (P.R.O. Enrolled Tunnage and Poundage Accounts, E 356/22, m,45). The account also records the export by denizen and alien merchants, all said to be factors of the Italian merchant Alan de Monteferrato who acted on behalf of the king, of the following metals: 147 thousandweight of tin valued at £10 per thousandweight, 13 thousandweight of pewter valued at £13 6s.8d. per thousandweight and 116 fothers 15 C. of lead valued at £4 per fother. In 1471, following an earlier grant of 1466, Monteferrato had been licensed to export 10,000 blocks of tin, 2,000 barrels of pewter vessels and 1,000 fothers of lead without paying custom or subsidy and Monteferrato probably re-sold the licences.
