Sir Thomas Gresham, an English financier, was born in London, and educated at the University of Cambridge.

Being Q3________ for the management of the royal debt abroad, he virtually liquidated it by smart financial manipulations on the bourse, or stock exchange, of Antwerp. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1559. While serving as her financial agent abroad, Gresham found that his tasks were difficult to execute because of the lower Q4________ of English currency in Q5________ to the currencies of other countries; he attributed this situation to the earlier degradation of English currency.
