4 pp.; Fol.
Stamped paper (1653).- Notarial and noble signatures
Don Lope de Hoces y Córdoba was a prominent Spanish sailor, military officer, and admiral in the first half of the 17th century, celebrated for his service in the Ocean Fleet during the Thirty Years’ War. Appointed Captain General and made a Knight of the Order of Santiago, he played a key role in protecting the Indies Fleets and their American silver cargoes, repeatedly evading ambushes by privateers and the Dutch fleet.
His military career was marked by fierce battles in the Atlantic and along the Cantabrian coast against French and Dutch forces.
