| Summary |
"Colección de Documentos Inéditos Relativos al Descubrimiento, Conquista…" is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The work likely focuses on the governance of the Spanish colonies in the Americas, exploring topics related to the discovery and conquest of these territories, with a particular emphasis on legislation and policies affecting indigenous populations. The opening of this work delves into the historical context surrounding the governance of the Spanish possessions overseas, discussing legislative measures taken by the Emperor and his advisors. It highlights a specific assembly in Barcelona aimed at addressing the treatment of indigenous people in light of their conversion to Christianity and the abuses perpetrated by conquistadors. The text references the insightful comments of the chronicler Herrera, who documents the important decisions made in these deliberations, showcasing the struggle between the interests of the crown and the brutal practices of the conquerors during the early years of colonization.
