| Gómez Dávila y Toledo (2nd Marqués de Velada), Gonzalo | Living | Nobility |
Kenyon (kenyon1996) erroneously assumed that the 1596 inventory of the second Marques de Velada, Gonzalo Gómez Dávila y Toledo, was made post mortem. Martínez Hernández (martinezh1999) clarifies that it was made, instead, following the death of the second wife of the Marqués, Ana de Toledo y Colonna. The inventory was made on 5 February 1596. It is notable for the large library that it contains. Some of the book title are given in F. Bouza. «Leer en palacio», pp. 29-42. The Marqués died in 1616. He was ayo to Felipe II and the young Felipe III.
