Catalogue Note
A fine letter demonstrating the interest of the King in the day-to-day management of the royal possessions.
Referring to a charter decreed by his mother the Empress in 1536, he renews the order that all moneys raised as tribute go to the royal treasury with the exception of those officials personally involved in its collection.
