A royal cédula dated 2 March 1537 is cited in the case of Domingo, described as the son of a prominent man from Gelofe. The published study reports that Domingo ultimately obtained freedom. The cédula is a rare trace of an enslaved African’s individual history in an archive otherwise dominated by licenses, property records, and official accounts; the surviving summary does not explain the full circumstances or process of his liberation.
