CONDE CALDERON, Jorge. Captains of War: Economic and Political Governance in the Viceroyalty of the Kingdom of Nueva Granada. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.29, pp.155-182. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.29.2016.7.

Captains of War constituted a case of governors, employees according to provincial peculiarities of the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada. This paper examines their actions within the legal and institutional framework in which they emerged and legitimated. Likewise, it examines their appointments in the economic and political governance of some cities, towns, places and parties of the viceroyalty as an articulated state policy element. Finally, it studies some jurisdictional conflicts they held against governors and other judges, and recurrent disputes with neighbors due to actions taken as managers of justice and government of the republic.
