<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coffeyce, post: 201302, member: 3745&quot;]I think it will be easier to make 1 thread and add to it rather than numerous threads. so here it is I will try to add a few different pieces a week as time permits. I guess I should start with the oldest first and work my way up. I will also include what little bit of historical knowledge I possess on the items as well as any translations I had done.</p><p><br /></p><p>1743 (24 Dec) King Phillip V, document concerning the Bishop of Santo Domingo in Oaxaca, Mexico and the donation process for the church. it has a water stain and a little damage at the top which made a few words unintelligible in the translation.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1700, King Phillip 5th Took the throne under strained relations as His Grandfather Louis 14th had no direct descendent. Upon Louis death he had made it in his will for him to become King of Spain with foresight to try to&nbsp; Unify Spain and France in 1 Throne. It produced the Spanish Succession War that lasted for 14 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phillip 5th was the first member of the House of Bourbon to reign in Spain. This document is from near the end of his reign. Phillip took there throne and could not read/speak Spanish and he refused to sign his Spanish name, but would sign his French name. (When he did sign documents). Mostly he would have an official sign his documents for him and apply the wax seal.</p><p><br /></p><p>This document is for the persuading of Indians and others to support the catholic church and raise funds for the Holy Crusade. From the native speaker I had translated the documents it was written to a shadow extent of promising those who support the church monetarily with passage to heaven.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]57665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57669[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
