Russell, op. tit., p. 118, believes Spanish population fell in the sixteenth century: ‘From a peak of perhaps 9.5 million just before the Black Death the population dropped in Iberia to 9 or below in the succeeding fifty years remaining much the same for the fifteenth century. Then, with some exceptions, the several parts of Iberia commenced a further decline in marked contrast to the general European development.'
