The authenticity of the memorial ascribed to Ximenes has been called in question, but Páramo’s evidence shows that Ximenes did remonstrate with Charles on the subject and, whether he was the author or not, it unquestionably reflects the official view of the matter at the time.

The killing of the informer at Talavera probably refers to the case of Bernardino Díaz, the consequences of which caused a coolness between Leo X and the Spanish Inquisition. See above, p. 123.
