Dirty Fuggers:

Did you know that one of the richest men ever was a Jacob Fugger living from 1459-1525.?

The now three branches of the German Fugger family are Bankers who took over the De' Medici family assets and political influence after the foundation of their wealth was laid-down by Johann Fugger around 1367 when his name first appeared in the Tax Register.

He continued the Fugger dynasty's interests by specializing in copper mining & foundries - the spice trade - Slaves from Africa to America and selling Papal Indulgences & benefices ('Get out of Hell Free' cards).

Jacob Fugger The Rich.

- One current modern branch Fugger von Kirchberg und zu Weissenhorn is today represented by Countess Maria-Elisabeth von Thun und Hohenstein, née countess Fugger, heiress of Kirchberg Castle at Illerkirchberg (bought in 1507 by Jakob Fugger). -  She also heads the charitable family foundations including the Fuggerei in Augsburg and Welden monastery.

That other famous German banking family The Rothchilds - were also engaged in slavery ..
