Abstract
In this work we offer the edition and a first approach to some “investigations of guarantors” concerning the farming of royal taxes in the bishoprics of León and Astorga during the reigns of John II and Henry IV of Castile, including also an investigation of the year 1467 concerning the ‘merindad’ of Saldaña, in which both the tax-farmer and his guarantors are citizens of León or Astorga. Some of them concern also the bishopric of Zamora or some Castilian ‘merindades’. After some preliminary considerations, we expose briefly their content and explore the connections between tax-farmers and guarantors.
