Summary

Court record of proceedings in a lawsuit instituted 8 July 1549, by royal authorities of Villa de la Cumbre (Prov. of Extremadura) against Isabel Garcia, widow of Juan de la Amarilla, and her sons, charged with evasion of royal and municipal taxes by claiming nobility to which they were not entitled. They received a condemnatory verdict on 16 July 1550. Isabel's descendants reopened the case on 14 December 1585, presenting witnesses to attest to their noble ancestry and purity of blood. A lengthy part of the manuscript is given over to the depositions of these witnesses. The case was closed by the Audiencia of Granada ordering restitution of all property that might have been confiscated, 27 June 1590.
