John’s Ransom and the Financial Windfall

  • Meanwhile, King John of England capitalized on his success, securing 30,000 marks in ransom payments from the Flemish hostages he had taken from the cities he had captured.
  • This massive sum reinforced John’s treasury, giving him the financial resources to continue the war.
