Abstract
The study of a group of fiscal relations compiled by royal ministers in some moments of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries offers an accurate view of both the amount and the structure of the fiscal revenues collected by the Castilian Crown from 1577 to 1688. These documentary sources have allowed us to measure the increase of the tax burden during the reign of Philip IV and the importance of the measures subsequently adopted during the reign of Charles II to lighten such burden. Simultaneously, our sources have also allowed us to compare the amount and the evolution of the ordinary taxes collected by the Crown to that of the extraordinary incomes. To finish, our paper deals with the evolution of tax burden in real terms and its consequences on the Castilian economy and population.
