Lisa Rosengard Dec 8, 2022:
The title suggests it's about entitlements or rights for children, and I wonder if it's in connection with custody. However, the web link describes the beginning of the formation of a system of taxation, imports and exports in Andalucía of the south of Spain. It mentions Cádiz, near Gibraltar from where there are also connections with North Africa. Note that: "Customs duty is calculated as a percentage of the goods total value, which includes both the price paid for the goods themselves and any other costs incurred in postage and insurance. Customs duty is charged in pounds sterling." (google.com)

Por su parte, el derecho de infantes fue otro de los impuestos administrados por el Consulado, junto a los de lonja, Balbas y toneladas. Fue creado por Real Cédula firmada en San Lorenzo de El Escorial el 27 de octubre de 1632. El Consulado de cargadores, por mano de su prior y cónsules y en virtud de las órdenes cursadas a través del conde de Puebla del Maestre, gobernador del Consejo de Indias, se obligó a entregar a Octavio Centurión, tesorero de los presidios del reino, la cantidad anual necesaria para mantener a quinientos infantes durante seis años, a razón de sesenta reales por cada uno cada mes, es decir 360.000 reales al año, “por lo mucho que importa que los presidios estén con la guarnición entera de su dotación, mayormente en los tiempos presentes”. A cambio, el rey concedía facultad al Consulado para imponer un derecho del 1% sobre las mercancías que entrasen en la aduana de Sevilla por mar y tierra, así como sobre las que saliesen por tierra, en la misma forma que se cobraba el derecho de lonja, cuya cuantía estaba fijada por entonces también en un 1%.
