Working edition and corrections reviewed against selected original images in a 14-page PDF, including the archival cover and Bernal’s children. The file concerns the bishop’s recovery of a 2,000-ducat debt guaranteed for the Count, not a debt owed by the Count to this family. The writ is dated May 1569, day unread; it copies earlier proceedings. No public catalogue entry has been matched. No mother is named for Francisco or Margarida. Financial parties are not relatives by implication.
