In 1331, you could have all the gold in the world but who gives a $hit? What could you do with it in that era? Buy a golden chamber pot? Have concubines wipe your butt with gold leaf? Take a lukewarm bath in a golden tub? Ride a horse with a golden saddle? Eat nuts and berries off a gold plate?
Seems pretty BORING.

A lot of the things that are so easy as modern conveniences were possible given enough labor to attend to them. That much gold would pay a large army, let alone a small one, to cater to your every need.
