Execution of nobility charter (or letter of coat of arms) granted in the name of the Council of His Excellency El-Rei Don Carlos II, of Spain (1661-1700), to Don Garcia de Medrano y Varrio (or Barrio), neighbour of the village of Almagro, Granada jurisdiction, by H.M.'s fiscal attorney, Don Juan de Muriel. At the end: Dada en Granada a beynteiocho dias del mes de mayo de mil y seisc[ent]os y setenta y seis años. Executory letters of nobility were introduced during the reign of Fernando and Isabel, the Catholic Monarchs, and continued to be produced until the 19th century. They witnessed the blood cleansing of the applicants and their ancestors, as well as their faith, free from any heresy. At the same time, they defined their coat of arms and established the right to use them. The document is developed on 75 sheets of parchment (2 white), carefully ruled and calligraphed in Gothic characters, the last being occupied by an extensive visa. In the first two folios we find three large full-page (31x22 cm) illuminations, with the following representations: on the verso of the first folio the Virgin Mary; in front of the second folio, a genealogical scheme with 13 blue circles inscribed in gold (oxidized); on the verso of the same sheet, the applicant's coat of arms held by an angel or archangel with a sword (St. Michael?). In front of the next page, with two lateral vegetal stripes, the beginning of the text, with the first three lines (plus lines 21 and 22) illuminated in blue, red and gold. The text also includes three dozen illuminated initials, with one or two lines, two large letters and seven lines totally or partially painted. Document well preserved, fully legible, with only some oxidation in the gold decoration. Full crimson velvet binding, not contemporary, with two silver clasps. Protective case in burgundy canvas.
