This document, which consists of three parts, is written in an epidemic context, which is why the Kings temporarily have left the city. Its purpose is to convince the King to maintain the court in Valladolid despite the current sanitary situation. We analyze the sanitary arguments, the text exposes to pursue this goal and we interpret them in the context of its time, by analyzing them in the context of the literature which glorified territories and cities with several criteria, among the health situation.
