Sinopsis

War created the Bank of England. Had King William III possessed enough money to combat FranceâÇÖs Louis X1V, the first public bank may have never emerged. áThe Bubble burst. Sword Blade Bank went bust in 1712 and there was a run on the Old Lady. To stem the flow, staff made payments in sixpences and shillings to friends who carried them round to the BankâÇÖs back door to enable the tills to be replenished.áShe stayed steadfast in the heart of the City of London to develop, arguably, the most envied and admired reputation in the world today.
