And if any capital town falls with¬ 
in the said indicated territory, it 
shall be understood that the rest of 
the towns subject to the said capi¬ 
tal, even though they may be out¬ 
side of the said thirty leagues, shall 
come in my division, with the lands, 
pastures, waters, and mountains of 
the districts where the said vassals 
happen to be: and with it I shall be 
given, for myself and my heirs and 
successors for always and forever, 
the title of marquis, with civil and 
criminal jurisdiction mero misto 
emperio , 10 with the honors and pre¬ 
rogatives that such titles always 
have in the kingdoms of Castile, so 
that my sons and daughters legiti¬ 
mate and natural, may inherit them 
perpetually; and, in default of my 
said sons and daughters not having 
any daughters or sons or other de¬ 
scendants in a direct line, let the 
said entailed title be inherited by 
the nearest relative, with the pro¬

conditions that seem best to me. 
Let him be granted what is con¬

the reason that I would supply him 
in the interim, he is not to receive 
any salary then. But, after he com¬ 
mences the expedition and pacifica¬ 
tion, from then on, I assign him 
six thousand ducats of Castile as 
annual salary, in accordance with 
article 57 of the ordinances. 
9. Item: That I shall have with 
the office of governor and captain- 
general eight thousand ducats of 
Castile yearly, in view of the fact 
that the provinces of the said gov¬ 
ernment are distant and far away 
from the parts where I have to pro¬ 
vide myself with the necessary 
things and they must cost excessive 
amounts; the said salary to run 
from the day when I shall take pos¬ 
session of the said government. 
And it shall be ordered to be issued 
and paid at my pleasure from the 
royal property of his Majesty which 
I and my said successors shall con¬

by my said successors in the said 
government. And if in the con-
