]]> The Census of Pecheros records the list of neighbours who were called “pecheros”, i.e. those who had to pay the Service tax to His Majesty. It shows, municipality by municipality, the number of pecheros and the amount they paid, and is one of the most widely used demographic sources, although it must be complemented by others. This tax affected the common classes and excluded both the nobility and the Church.
