- Abstract:
- A very tall thin gentleman with elongated wig and dour expression sits facing left on a block labelled "Stool of repentance" as he pulls a frog apart by its legs. Strapped to him by a belt around the waist is an old long-haired and bearded man, with bows on his shoes and holding a purse marked "empty". On the right, a sailor stands facing the viewer and holding in his hand a club, as he points towards the two men and smiles. Next to him on the ground lies a bag marked "1000 dollars." Probably a reference to the Bourbon Family Compact wherein Spain allied herself with France to regain Gibraltar

- 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- Land grant, manuscript on parchment, originally made to Alonzo Prieto, and awarded after his death to his brother Gonzalo Prieto, following litigation.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
