THE RESILIENCE OF THE SPANISH MONARCHY
di Christopher Storrs
Unfortunately for all those dependent on remittances from Naples, the realm found it difficult to meet its many competing obligations. Those who suffered in consequence included Carlos II's diplomats, and his allies. That portion of the duke of Savoy's subsidy paid from Naples was effectively applied to the fitting out of the galleys in 1692, 1693, and 1694; in 1694 Operti hoped to obtain some of the 30,000 ducats obtained from the sale of the fief of Capracotta, but was told that this had been assigned to the military treasury, or cassa militare; and in 1695 the viceroy claimed to be unable to pay the subsidy because he was trying to find money for the chinea, the annual payment to the Pope in recognition of his suzerainty over the kingdom. These difficulties prompted efforts to identify alternatives to the cash subsidy due to Victor Amadeus. The Neapolitan galleys, despite taking priority over the Duke of Savoy, also suffered: in 1694, the lack of 40,000 ducats for the pay of the galleys, delayed their departure for Spain. As for the Army of Lombardy, in November 1684 the marquis del Carpio refused to send an additional 50,000 scudi to Milan (besides the ordinary monthly contribution), because of the state of Naples' finances. More seriously, the regular remittances for the Army of Lombardy fell behind during the Nine Years War. In December 1691 Leganés complained that negotiation of the bread contract for 1692 were hampered by the failure to ensure the monthly payments from Naples to the contractor, who he claimed was owed 140,000 escudos. These difficulties persisted after the conclusion of the Nine Years War. Nevertheless, these difficulties should not obscure the fact that the kingdom was still relieving Madrid (and Castile) of some of the burden of defence, that without its contribution the Monarchy might have fared less well under Carlos II, and that Spanish rule continued to impose burdens on the realm.
