Resumen de La fiscalidad eclesiástica frente a las exigencias financieras borbónicas y la guerra de Independencia: las diócesis de México, Michoacán y Guadalajara, 1790–1821
This article studies the forced loans and donations which were imposed on the diezmo (tithe) of New Spain in order to support the financial needs generated by the European wars in the late eighteenth century and, later, by new demands during the War of Independence. Based on the documentation from four cathedral chapters (Mexico, Valladolid, Michoacán, and Guadalajara), the main purpose of this article is to identify changes in the level and distribution of tithe which were produced by the contribution to war spending in those years.
