Description

King of Spain (born 1527) from 1556 until his death in 1598; Sovereign of the Spanish Empire over North and South America, King of Portugal, Naples, Spanish Holland and Sicily, and King of England and Ireland while married to Queen Mary I. Manuscript DS in Spanish, signed “Yo El Rey,” one page, 8.5 x 11.5, January 31, 1574. Untranslated administrative order, prominently signed at the conclusion in ink by King Philip II. Mounted, double-matted, and framed to an overall size of 16 x 19.5. In fine condition, with a few small holes, affecting a couple of words of text.

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.
