LS in Spanish, signed 'Yo El Rey [I the King],' one page, 8 x 11.5, August 29, 1560. Untranslated letter sent from Madrid, signed below the neatly penned text in ink by King Phillip II. Matted and framed to an overall size of 14 x 17.5. In fine condition, with some show through from docketing on reverse.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
