Manuscripts
This manuscript written by Martín de Herrera describes his and his family's service to the Spanish crown and the alleged misdeeds of Viceroy of New Spain, Álvaro Manrique de Zúñiga. These misdeeds include removing some of the Catholic Church's autonomy, dismissing members of the Treasury, replacing administrators with his own friends, and imposing regulations on the mercury, wine, and meat trades. Herrera also alleges that Manrique de Zúñiga was arresting or exiling any whistle blowers, including Herrera himself, who was jailed, probably in Cuba, when writing this manuscript. Herrera also writes about the hardships he and his brother, Diego, have endured, and their efforts to enlist the sympathy of the Consejo de Indias on their behalf.
