Abstract

The ordinary incomes and how to manage them in Seville council along the XV century were unable to bearthe increased spending and deal with the occasional need for quick cash. These circumstances forced to resort to extraor- dinary taxes, credit operations and other financial measures. This paper analyses how affected the situation described before to the “mayordomo” council office during the second half of that century: on the one hand, it was the subject of com- pletely illegal manoeuvres, such as its lease, office delivery for money, etc, and, on the other, the situation forced the council to adopt contradictory resolutions frequently and to breach contraéis.
