Pascual Herráez y Barreda, resident of Toledo, aged 49, is married and has a daughter, Inés Herráez y Barreda, aged 17. Pascual declares to be the servant of Tomás Martínez de la Torre, who is Abbot of Santa Leocadia. His salary is 4.5 reales, although he specifies that he has to eat, dress himself and pay for the house, so the real money he has left is 1 real. He therefore fears that Tomás Martínez could dismiss him from his work or that he would die, leaving him without income. This declaration is one of the declarations made by the Royal Contribution to ascertain the socio-economic state of the Kingdom.
