| Sumario: | Keepers of the City or corregidores were one of the fundamental pillars of the centralization policies adopted by the Catholic Monarchs. Their presence in towns aimed to ensure the enforcement of royal centralization directives, thus interfering in the socio-political reproduction spheres of local elites. This helps to explain the opposition of urban elites to the deployment of these officers in their towns, and variations in the speed of imposition of these keepers among diverse urban entities, since not all towns demonstrated similar abilities and skills to exercise that opposition. This paper analyses the political relations framework developed by the city of Cuenca with these centralization agents, focusing on day today decision making processes. Our study comprises a precise and relatively short chronology in order to address in some detail the steady process of incorporating these officers, and the measures adopted by towns to manage their presence and participation in urban political life. This article has benefited from the rich archival sources of Cuenca Municipal Archive and the Registro General de Corte Simancas. |
