Barbara Fugger
Barbara Fugger (1419 – July 23, 1497) was a German businessperson and banker.
Barbara Baesinger was born to a wealthy family in Augsburg, Germany. While still a teenager, she was married to textile merchant Jakob Fugger the Elder. She bore eleven of his children before he died, including Ulrich, Georg and Jakob Fugger. She successfully managed the family business and eventually traded internationally in linen and wool. She provided money for her sons' businesses and her daughters' dowries.[1] After the death of her spouse, she managed the Fugger bank until her death in 1497. She was assisted by her sons, but they did not gain full access until after her death.
