In Finnveden from the 1360s, exchanges, pledges with interest, sales and purchases could accommodate different forms of market relations (free, equal and independent).A transaction form could even in all parts be aimed at the market: a pledge with interest could be issued between equal and independent parties (who if necessary, set aside their friendship relationship), where the borrowers received money and the lender received an interest that could be invested; a purchase of valued landed property (which immediately was paid for with money) could be carried out between independent, equal and unrelated parties; an exchange could be made between independent and equal parties, which resulted in the property being concentrated and, thereby, utilised more effectively. Often, however, in both of the investigation areas, it concerned a situation where one as freeholder or lesser nobility, sold with gratitude to the person who could purchase when one was forced to sell, if a relative was unable to purchase.On the other hand, a relative could buy from his siblings and in this way be sufficiently landed so that he could appear as an affluent freeholder, or an already-wealthy nobleman could purchase the property of less successful distant relatives. l e g a l a c q u i s i t i o n , l a n d m a r k e t s a n d m o n e t i s at i o n 298
