Letter from Philip II, 19 September 1592 In this letter from Philip II to Diego de Orellana de Chaves, from Burgos, the King expresses concern about books found aboard one of the prizes taken by Spanish privateers, and gives instructions that they are to be turned over to the Inquisition immediately and that Orellana should watch for any other cargoes of this type. It clearly illuminates his primary concern with the unwanted religious influences working their way into his lands.
