Abstract
Current scholars are showing that fiscal-financial system of the Austrias was shaping since ca. 1490. Important tasks like “headings”, bonds (juros) or the participation of a financial groups in loans or tax farming took part of the common reality of Castilians from this moment. In this hand, there was also some events that can be taken as precedents of the famous “bankruptcies” and, in short, these episodes of financial crises show that there was a precarious balance around the credit systems that nourished the real estate before the Habsburg rule. This article focuses on a suspension of libranzas ordered by Fernando el Católico in February of 1509. Unpublished sources coming mainly from the Archive of Simancas has been used in order to elaborate the study.Downloads
