Morisco expulsion won support because Valencian nobles could not profit from fixed tenancies

Evidence

But where seigneurial rents were fixed, the nobles were barely able to cover their debts. In the area of Tur´ıs, part of the duchy of Gand´ıa, in Valencia, seigneurial rents during the sixteenth century rose four-fold, but tithes increased sixteen-fold. Meanwhile the principal of the duke’s debts in censos rose thirteen-fold between 1551 and 1604. By 1600, the Valencian nobility were paying one third of their income in censo debts and were unable to make good their losses from the fixed tenancies of their Morisco vassals. They stood, therefore, to gain from dispossession and expulsion. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1394

• XREF: Echoes the economic pressure narrative from the earlier law merchant reading — institutions and confiscation as a solution to debt-lock, expanded here to early modern Spain.
• QUESTION: How did the censo (annuity debt) system function, and did other noble families across Spain face the same debt trap, or was Valencia anomalous?
