- Abstract:
- Land grant, manuscript on parchment, originally made to Alonzo Prieto, and awarded after his death to his brother Gonzalo Prieto, following litigation. The grant, valued at 35,000 maravedis annually, was given to defray the costs of preparing land and naval forces to protect Spain and the Catholic Church, particularly from the "Gran Turco" ( Süleyman I). Four ships carrying gold and silver were to arrive from Peru to support this. The text refers to places and dates in the years 1535-1536. The end of the document, apparently written when the authorizing signatures were added, gives the location as Valladolid, and the date as 27 February 1537
