]]> From the mid-16th century onwards, the clergy lost one of their most precious privileges: exemption from paying taxes to the royal treasury. Payments had to be made through the Subsidio and the Excusado, which soon led to protests about having to contribute to both taxes, and so an agreement was reached to unify both payments by means of an approximation, which in the long term would benefit the Church.
The clergy tried to assert their rights through the General Congregations, who, using their moral authority, wanted to maintain the tax exemption, but it was not enough.
The clergy’s main hostility was because they saw that these extraordinary payments would become permanent, which led to a tug of war between the two sides in search of a negotiated understanding, reflected in the 16th century through the appeal. Thus, for each concession, a negotiated amount was promoted to the royal treasury, which usually accepted after a period of dispute.
