Keywords:
Charles V, Short-term Debt, Fairs, Liquidity, Treasurers.
Abstract
During the reign of Charles V there was a significant increase of short-term debt due to the presence of both Castilian and international financial groups as lenders. This article focuses on the most important of the loans signed during Emperor’s time, which it can be named as the “great seat” of 1532. Taking advantage of primary sources about this loan, the study also gets into the structures of royal spending, budget and accounts of Baeza and Zuazola –royal treasurers- as well as Castilian financial fairs during the thirties of the sixteenth century.Downloads
