Gresham Richard, mercer of London, 7, 116, 261.
Father of the celebrated Sir Thomas Gresham, the founder of the
Royal Exchange, and, whom Mr. Lodge happily terms, "the great
patriarch of commerce and of commercial finance." This Richard
Gresham was a mercer in London, and, according to the same elegant
writer, was "agent for the crown with the trading interest, or, as
it was called, king's merchant, an office of the highest importance
and trust, inasmuch as it united the duty of raising money for
the royal occasions by private loans, with that of protecting
and cherishing the sources from which they were derived." He was
knighted, and became Mayor of London in 1537, and died in 1548. See
also Ward's _Gresham Professors_.
