- Abstract
The most important industry of Toledo during the Modern Age was that of fabrics of its silk fabrics. Its moment of major height was the 16th century, beginning his decadence in the last quarter of the above mentioned century, continuing his decline throughout the following century and disappearing at the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th. The reasons of its ruin were multiple, a few of them were applicable to the whole country, therefore not imputable specifically to Toledo; but others are linked to the union and the ordinances that were being applied. The weavers were fed up after being discriminated regarding the account, weight and law of its fabrics in comparison with other cities and to the materials imported by the foreigners, drove them to go on a strike in the year 1737, paralyzing his looms and cutting the fabrics with which they were working.
