Abstract
In this study, we analyze the origins, evolution and structure of one of the most important financial companies of the beginnings of XVlth century: The Fuente family. This family from Toledo controlled the lease of the revenue of the silk for decades, articulating their function as merchants of this product and financiers of the crown. In order to be successful in their activities, they had to obtain several political supports. And the most important of all them were the general captain of Granada and the general treasurer of Castile.
