- Implied Charles was prepared to subjugate his religious ideals of a united, Cath. country for economic benefits
- There was also still a particularly low level of morality in the clergy, hence true cath. orthodoxy was not being upheld
- Finance
- Alcabala- became lump sum thus reducing its value due to inflation
- Servicio tripled by 1555 but as nobles were exempt from tax lower classes were expected to pay large sums
- 1556- 65% of Charles' income was loans from foreign banks- thus economy was unstable by end of his reign
