The full time may be the 15th-century, when intrepid retailers turned the brand new knighthood of Europe. Included in this, none is bigger or even more crafty than Nicholas vander Poele of Bruges, the great-natured dyer's apprentice who strategies and swashbuckles his method to the helm of the mercantile empire.     Niccolò Increasing, Book One of many series, sees us in Bruges, 1460. Jousting may be the pastime, and effective retailers are, necessarily, polyglot.
