Manuscript No. 067
Date: 1509, May 3. Valladolid, Spain
Theme: In a letter from the Spanish monarchs responding to a prior one from La Española’s governor Nicolás de Ovando, they prohibited the entrance into the Indies to foreigners and descendants of the “burnt ones.” This prohibition probably implied as well the concern expressed in prior communication as to the possible presence of non-Christian Black slaves
