Abstract

ABTRACT: The archive of the Duques de Frías, housed in the Archivo de la Nobleza, preserves a small treatise on the relief of conscience written by the Dominican friar Tomás de Pedroche at the request of Diego II López Pacheco, Duke of Escalona. This Castilian nobleman harbored some doubts about the restitutions he needed to make to ease his conscience and free his soul from possible sins he might have committed. The work presented here aims to shed light on this brief text in its context, revealing a little-studied facet of Castilian nobility: their moral duties.
