Description

LS in Spanish, signed “Yo el Rey,” one page both sides, 9 x 12, 1535. Letter to the Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo, Alonso da Fonseca, signed “Yo el Rey” (I the King) and countersigned by the Comendador Mayor Francisco de los Cobos. A lengthy letter communicating various decisions on matters submitted by the Archbishop on people he had detained, and the disorders of certain captains, in part (translated): "It is important to maintain respect for our warriors, even if we have to accept some disorders." In very good condition, with intersecting folds passing through a portion of the signature, small separations and holes along folds, and moderate scattered staining, which does not affect the legibility, only the overall appearance. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
