]]> During the modern age, and specifically during the Hapsburg period, the collection of state taxes was carried out through the court service. In the Crown of Castile, Spanish monarchs had an easier time obtaining the revenue they needed. This was made possible by the corregimental system implemented by the Catholic Monarchs, which allowed the arms of the state to be extended in Castilian cities and towns through the figure of the corregidor. However, the particularity of the legislation of the Crown of Aragon (with the specificity of each kingdom) complicated the granting of services. To this end, the Monarchy deployed a whole mechanism of pacts in each of the territories, such as Valencia, Aragon and Catalonia. It can be seen how the costs gradually increased with the worsening of the situation of the empire in its European wars. With the exhaustion of the Hispanic Monarchy (1580-1610), the problem of Castile’s excessive involvement in imperial expenditure was raised, and so, from the arbitrarian point of view, it was advised to involve the territories of the Crown of Aragon to a greater extent. This was achieved by increasing the costs of the services that the different kingdoms would have to pay to the monarchy.
