Definitive royal provision of nobility in favor of Juan de Casco, resident of Logrosán (Cáceres).

In Spain, an "ejecutoria" is the legal document that orders the enforcement of a final judgment. Issued as a diplomatic form of royal provision, they are a compendium of the proceedings whose judgments, both interlocutory and final, are included and enforced. Depending on the financial means of the person requesting these documents, they were adorned with miniature artworks, carefully written, and sometimes even lavishly bound in leather panels or sumptuous fabrics. They featured iron embossing, artistic additions, and metal clasps with a plethora of fine materials. They always carried the lead seal attached to colored silk threads. Royal Audience and Chancery of Ciudad Real.
