Captain Arguelles rallied for promotion for his Franciscan son
It was also possible to buy a benefice. When Captain Antonio de Arguelles, old and going blind, wanted to provide handsomely for his Franciscan son Joseph, he asked friends with influence to persuade the king to give him the position of preacher or some other honor and proudly promised to pay “though it should cost like a mitre.” [Note 7: Antonio de Arguelles to Antonio Ortiz de Otalora 6/11/1690]
