Proceedings of the Duke of Risperds and Treaties
A fragmented historical note from 1726 discussing a royal complaint about an affront to the King’s consul at St Sebaylian forced to Sa’amancay, with Madrid dated September 24 1726, and a lengthy memorial exchange between British and Spanish correspondents criticizing British policy and maritime squadrons in the Indies. The missives reference Stanhope, Maryes de la Paz, and inquiries into treaty obligations and their fulfillment amidst rising tensions.
