1556. Carta de doña Mayor de Pimentel para su sobrino don Fernán Pérez de Andrade.

Autor(es) Mayor de Pimentel      
Destinatário(s) Fernán Pérez de Andrade      
In English

Letter from Mayor de Pimentel to her nephew Fernán Pérez de Andrade.

The author reproaches her nephew for having forgotten her and the lack of letters, but specially for the delays in the sending of money, which she needs.

Around 1587 Mayor de Pimentel claimed her rights to her parents inheritance against her grandnieces, who were represented by Fernando de Seijas´ widow, Aldonza de Ulloa. Mayor was one of the five daughters of Antonio de Tovar and Blanca de Pimentel. Once they passed away, the eldest daughter, Brianda de Tovar, and her husband, Fernan Pérez de Aseijas, took control over the properties and urged Mayor to renounce to the fifth part that belonged to her. Mayor assured that she had been mislead, since she was under 25 years old at the time and she had received a poor compensation of 400 ducats. Likewise, she had been forced to marry to Luis de Sotomayor. Consequently, she had decided to sue Brianda in 1577 and the Court of Justice ruled on the legitimacy of her claim. Aldonza de Ulloa appealed the judgement and presented several letters addressed to Mayor de Pimentel proving the later was receiving financial help. However, justice ruled in favour of Mayor for the second time. She had to receive the fifth part of the goods left by her mother.
