ISABELLA I, Queen of Spain Document signed, [as Yo la Reyna]. Royal Decree [Real Cedula] enacted in February 1500 by Queen Isabella, addressed to her chamberlain Sancho de Paredes, who has also signed the document. Black ink on paper with a watermark of a hand and star, with extensive annotation and docketting on the verso. 12 x 8 1/2 inches (31 x 21.5 cm); the main decree 10 lines. Usual folds, generally fine condition though with one small restoration where there was ink-burn on the left margin; archivally matted. The document records a transaction in which an emerald, gold chains and a bracelet were to be given by her chamberlain Sancho de Paredes (via another functionary, Beatrice Cuello) to the Duke of Medina Sidonia (i.e. Juan Alfonso Perez de Guzman, 3rd Duke of Medina Sidonia, died 1507). The document reflects the extensive formalities of the Court of Isabella, and its extraordinary wealth. C
