Summary:

A privilege of citizenship, dated Nov. 11, 1486, granted to Iacobus de Picculominibus de Castiglia de Aragonia by the Anziani of Ancona, due to his status as vicar general to the pope in nearby Montemarciano. Giacomo was nephew of Pope Pius II, brother of Andrea di Nanni Todeschini Piccolomini (see folder 58), Guido di Biagio di Carlo Piccolomini (see folder 26), and Francesco di Nanni Todeschini Piccolomini (later Pope Pius III). A wax seal (only remnants of wax visible) and additional signature were added June 7, 1487.
