This article is concerned with the pure blood statutes in the city of Toledo, particularly those imposed by the crown on the city council in 1566, and how the statutes affected some conversos. Included in the analysis are the sales of municipal offices and titles of hidalguía by the crown, and the social status of some conversos who brought regidurías before 1566. One Toledo family is used to demonstrate the marriage alliances preferred by some wealthy conversos and the means by which conversos overcame efforts to exclude them from the city council and other positions of status.
