En este artículo se analiza el impacto de la aplicación de un nuevo método de recaudo de las alcabalas en Sogamoso entre 1805 y 1818, en el contexto de las reformas político-administrativas emprendidas por los Borbones en el Nuevo Reino de Granada a partir de la mitad del siglo XVIII. Se abordan diferentes niveles de tensión entre funcionarios, grupos sociales y élites locales emergentes, para demostrar que la aplicación tardía de las reformas borbónicas en Sogamoso, fueron recibidas localmente con el mismo descontento que causaron en todo el territorio americano.Palabras Clave: alcabalas, Reformas borbónicas, impuestos, Sogamoso.¨Alcabalas¨ of Sogamoso: Tensions as a Result of the Implementation of a New Method of Collection in a Town of the New Kingdom of Granada, 1805-1818Abstract Through this paper is analyzed the impact of the application of a new method for collection of the alcabalas in Sogamoso between 1805 and 1818, in the context of political and administrative reforms undertaken by the Bourbons in the New Kingdom of Granada from half of the eighteenth century. It addresses different levels of tension between officials, social groups and emerging local elites, to show that the late implementation of the Bourbon reforms in Sogamoso, were received locally with the same discontent that caused throughout the Americas.Keywords: alcabalas, Bourbon reforms, taxes, Sogamoso.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the political imbroglios surrounding the tenure of José García de León y Pizarro (1778–84) as visitador and president-regent of the Audiencia or Kingdom of Quito, in order to demonstrate the deep political divisions that emerged in Spain's Atlantic empire over the Bourbon Reforms. García Pizarro's policies strengthened the colonial state and produced a dramatic increase in crown revenues, but they also led to a groundswell of protest from local elites and even provoked the condemnation of his successors. These political struggles in Quito reveal the many competing viewpoints about the reform and renovation of Spanish Empire. The Bourbon Reforms emerged from a series of hotly contested political struggles on both sides of the Atlantic, leading to patchy and even distinctive outcomes in different regions of the empire. This political contestation also helps to explain why no coherent, commonly accepted plan for the reform of Spain's Atlantic empire ever emerged during the century.

Abstract:
The massive efforts of the Bourbon monarchs of the late colonial period to give their Spanish-American empire a modern state apparatus, extract more revenues from it, and defend it effectively from foreign interlopers involved an unprecedented assertion of royal authority at all levels of government, including the local one. Municipal government throughout the Americas became both an object of reform and one of the chief instruments of Bourbon reorganization at ground level. All the major activities and changes that required direct contact with the general population, from the taking of censuses and the establishment of militia units to the imposition of new taxes and the reorganization of the colonial financial structure, depended on municipal governments for their effective implementation. When the world wars for empires among Britain, France, and Spain reached a crisis stage for the Bourbons with Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808, the municipal governments became even more vital to the maintenance of the viceroyalties and the survival of the Spanish monarchy.

AbstractIn late eighteenth-century Mexico City, Spanish colonials, particularly members of the urban middle and popular classes, performed a number of weddings and baptisms on puppies (which were wearing clothes or bejewelled collars) in the context of fandangos or dance parties. These ceremonies were not radical challenges to orthodoxy or conservative reactions in the face of significant economic, political, religious and cultural Bourbon reforms emanating from Spain. Employing Inquisitorial investigations of these ceremonies, this article explores the rise of pet keeping, the meanings of early modern laughter and the implications of the cultural and religious components of the Enlightenment-inspired Bourbon reforms in late colonial Mexico.

The aim of this research paper is to critically analyze the effectiveness of the Bourbon Reforms in the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata. In 1802 the chaotic situation and multiple failures of the Royal Treasury led the Crown to send a visitor to the Viceroyalty. It had been denounced as scandalous the bankruptcies that took place in much of the Charcas’ Cajas Reales: La Paz, Oruro, Carangas. This work deals with bankruptcies occurred in the two Cajas located in the mining centers of Oruro and Carangas during the last two decades of the Eighteenth-century, a period associated with the Bourbon reforms and its success in the taxation of the American colonies.El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es analizar críticamente la eficacia de las Reformas Borbónicas en el Virreinato del Río de la Plata. La situación de caos y múltiples quiebras en las instituciones de la Real Hacienda propició que en 1802 la Corona decidiera enviar un visitador al Virreinato, pues se habían denunciado como escandalosas las quiebras en gran parte de las Cajas Reales charqueñas: La Paz, Oruro, Carangas. El trabajo que presentamos aborda la quiebra que se produjo en las dos Cajas ubicadas en los centros mineros de Oruro y Carangas durante las dos últimas décadas del siglo XVIII, periodo vinculado a la reformas borbónicas y su éxito en la fiscalización de las colonias americanas.

ABSTRACT:Most colonial Hispanic American cities were originally planned around a main plaza, which was a multifunctional square crucial for urban life. This spatial model for the whole city based on a main square is termed thePlaza Mayormodel. Bourbon reforms of the second half of the eighteenth century aimed at transforming this model according to aPlaza de Armasorganization. Here, these two models (Plaza MayorandPlaza de Armas) are characterized, and their contradictions in terms of political projects and quotidian city life are analysed. For late colonial Lima, Bourbon efforts to introduce thePlaza de Armasare shown to have affected both the main function of the central square and the entire urban system.

Abstract:
The end of the Habsburg dynasty in 1700 left the Spanish empire in ruins, and the military defeats and ensuing peace treaties considerably diminished Spain’s power in Europe. The new century saw the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty and with it a greater French influence. Under the banner of the Enlightenment, monarchical rule and scientific knowledge combined in Spain to bring about a more comprehensive form of government, whose internal policies aimed at improving educational opportunities, social conditions and economic life.The set of new rules and regulations implemented by the new monarchs in order to achieve these goals are now known as the Bourbon Reforms, and their economic implications for the River Plate region have been the subject of much research. This article intends to add to studies of the region from an urban perspective, focusing on the transformation that its capital city, Buenos Aires, experienced under the Bourbons, with the intention of revealing how the new authorities attempted to reinstate the urban layout of the city by dictating new aesthetic values at both urban and domestic levels. As will be explained, the stricter control of land and building also meant stricter control of the population, but Buenos Aires’ citizens — known as porteños — accepted this, as they rapidly learnt that submitting to constraints on their privately-financed architecture could leave them with a healthy profit.

Abstract:
Between 1722 and 1779, the Bourbon kings managed to achieve financial stability without broadening the tax base or borrowing on a large scale. The incorporation of Aragon's territories under the crown of Castile, the Bourbon administrative reforms, sustained population and economic growth during the first half of the eighteenth century, added to the silver coming from the Americas, explain the general increase in income within the existing fiscal constitution. The revenues extracted from the American possessions, in particular from New Spain, were essential in keeping the metropolitan budget balanced. However, from the 1790s onwards, constant international warfare made ordinary revenues collected in the Americas insufficient for financing deficit spending in Spain. To meet shortfalls, the crown implemented extraordinary measures including the collection of loans, donativos, ecclesiastical subsidies, and the enforcement of the Decreto de Consolidación de vales reales in 1804. These measures demonstrate that the Spanish crown increasingly relied on its imperial financial network to balance its budget, and simultaneously postponed the politically costly implementation of a thorough fiscal reform in the metropolis.

Abstract:
The paper deals with higher school transformation in Prussia between 1807 and 1810. Discussion on new university took place before 1806-1807, and had a purpose to design a new model connected with the practical application of the knowledge, also in public administration. The reforms initiated by Baron vom Stein and Karl August Fürst von Hardenberg offered the national principles to basics of Prussian state. Traditional point of view is that Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Karl Ferdinand von Humboldt ideas prevailed in the reform, though Theodor Anton Heinrich Schmalz’s and Johann Gottfried Hoffmann’s offers tapped into Faculty of Law and Political economics programme concepts. As a result, new principles appeared, and the ideal statesman image. The reform had a deep impact on academic positions in Prussia, transfer of knowledge and ideas, and tapped into transformation of Prussia to national state. It is possible to state that new university and the new public servants training models made its commitment to the approach transformation towards the public service and political culture evolution. The new approach towards the Academy of Sciences, its relations with government and society became a catalyst towards political culture transfer to civil and national one. The new university tapped into continuity of social and political reforms in the kingdom even within the Bourbon Restoration after 1815.

Abstract:
This article studies the connection between globalisation and economic growth in eighteenth-century Mexico. This was a period of globalisation in Mexico, characterised by market integration and growth in international trade. I estimate economic growth at that time and explore its relationship with the dominant export of the epoch, silver. The results show that Mexico experienced rapid economic growth in the eighteenth century and, furthermore, that exports caused that growth. During the period of Bourbon reforms economic growth improved, but not dramatically. Mining ceased to be the engine of growth by the end of the century.

Abstract:
In 1765, as part of a series of economic and political reforms implemented by the Spanish Bourbons in their American colonies, the tobacco trade of colonial Mexico was monopolized and its management placed in the hands of royal bureaucrats. By the 1790s, Mexico's tobacco monopoly was one of the largest organized industries in colonial Mexico (along with silver mining and textiles) and employed almost 20,000 individuals. In fiscal terms, tobacco revenues were second only to the silver tithe as the most valuable source of government income and accounted for almost one-fifth of total state revenues at the peak of its production. Its organization approximated a vertically integrated industry: Production and supply of tobacco leaf was regulated through a series of contracts that determined who produced tobacco, how much they produced, the prices paid for it, and where it was to be grown. The reorganization of the tobacco trade under Bourbon management resulted in the restriction of tobacco production to one small specific geographical area in southeastern Mexico: the two small villas of Orizaba and Córdoba in the modern-day state of Veracruz. The tobacco produced, in turn, was manufactured into cigarettes and cigars in six state-managed tobacco manufactories, the largest located in Mexico City, the political and commercial capital. Monopoly goods were marketed through government licensed stores throughout Mexico. Private trading and manufacture in tobacco goods became an illegal offense. Compliance with such regulations was enforced by a military corps employed by the monopoly administration, although contraband trade of tobacco was never eliminated.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to understand the political, social, economic and military factors that shaped the evolution of Spanish shipbuilding for the Acapulco-Manila trade route under the Habsburg and Bourbon dynasties (1571–1815). It focuses on the main variables that affected the size of the trans-Pacific galleons, on the objectives of the Spanish crown’s shipbuilding legislation, and on the methods used by Spanish colonial administrators to mobilize human and material resources in the Philippines. It discusses the role of the religious orders in the functioning of this industry, particularly in opposing the negative social consequences of shipbuilding. It also details the administrative reforms that shaped the development of this industry during the eighteenth century, which sought to limit the exploitation of the local workforce by transferring executive powers from local government officials and encomenderos to the friars. Finally, it also discusses the measures implemented by the Bourbon regime to increase its control over the functioning of the shipyards, particularly during the late eighteenth century. Although this article focuses on the construction of the largest ships launched from the Philippine shipyards, its conclusions can be extended to other types of vessels built by the Spanish administration in the archipelago during this period.

After Spain’s defeat in the Seven Years’ War (1757-1763), when the British had occupied Havana and Manila, a series of territorial, commercial, and tax reforms brought significant change to the viceroyalty of Peru. Their economic effects have been matters for debate ever since. Some historians have emphasized their positive effects. Following promulgation of the Reglamento de comercio libre of 1778, the volume and value of European manufactures exported to the Pacific coast of Spanish South America increased. Lima and its port city, Callao, remained important as commercial centers of Spanish South America. But others suggest that the viceregal capital—home to a powerful mercantile elite, the magnates of the consulado (merchant guild) of Lima—suffered a decline in its economic fortunes, as did the entire viceroyalty. Support for this point of view was widespread in late colonial Peru. In spite of the evidence for growth, a rising chorus of complaint bemoaned the increasing poverty of the viceroyalty in general and Lima in particular. How can we account for this discrepancy?

Abstract:
The article examines the impact of the early Bourbon reforms on the politics towards foreigners in Spanish America. It reconstructs two of the main governmental instruments to control migration: naturalization procedures and legislation on foreigners. Regarding the naturalization practice, the article describes the changes it experienced during the eighteenth century, such as the non-application of the Composición and the newly introduced instrument of the Cartas de tolerancia. Legislation aimed to close gaps by which foreigners so far had tried to avoid an expulsion from America. Both, changes in naturalization procedures and legislation finally should strengthen the king’s sovereignty concerning the legal admission of foreigners. Nevertheless, in practice the American authorities still held many resources to tolerate foreigners by their own.

In the period of 1717-1736, the southern peninsular forests became a new resource frontier at the service of the Spanish Navy, in the context of the Bourbon Reforms. The timber supply for shipbuilding and maintenance of war fleets in Cádiz was made through four methods: direct administration by commissioned services; purchase from regional middlemen merchants; articulation between contractors and direct administration; articulation with the Royal Exchequer. The rhythm of supply was the reflex of different needs and constraints in three phases: maintenance of fleets during the period of consolidation of Cádiz as a naval and commercial center (1717-1727); the first shipbuilding series (1728-1731); the impact of the 30’s Mediterranean campaigns and the shipbuilding production of Ciprian Autran (1731-1736).

Abstract:
This article analyses the intellectual and political activities of the newly-created consulados and Economic Societies in Spanish America between 1780 and 1810. It argues that these institutions decisively shaped both the formulation and implementation of metropolitan policy. Colonial elites used the consulados and Economic Societies as a vehicle to pursue licensed privilege and moderate, incremental reform in the context of a revivified, socio-economically stable Old Regime. They embraced the Bourbon reforms and used them to their advantage. Judging from consulado documents, the prevailing relationship between civil society and the state in Spanish America, at least until the late 1790s, was amicable and mutually supportive. After that time, mainly due to the disruption of Atlantic commerce, close co-operation gave way to conflict, but always within the framework of a cohesive empire. Drawing on archives in Argentina, Chile, Cuba and Spain, this essay traces the coalescence of numerous local intelligentsias that collaborated, to varying degrees, in the renovation of imperial governance and, simultaneously, incubated a robust public sphere in the nascent polities which gradually emerged after the collapse of Spanish royal authority in 1808.

Full text
Abstract:
Most theories of state formation emphasize the advantages of legal uniformity for the development of early modern states. The Bourbon monarchy in eighteenth-century Spain demonstrates alternative possibilities because Philip V created a more unified legal system in the kingdoms of Valencia and Aragon in 1707 only to reinstate the distinctive Aragonese civil law in 1711. Philip pursued this change in policy because the difficulties caused by changing Aragonese civil law undercut his support among the local elite, while reinstating these laws increased the dependence of these elite upon the success of the king in the War of Spanish Succession (1700–1714). Philip V’s policies following 1711 demonstrate a consistent interest in securing the support of the local elite over the desire to unify the divergent civil laws throughout his kingdoms. For these reasons, selective legal diversity proved a compelling approach to governing. The persistence of these regional variations in law contributes to broader theories of state formation by demonstrating the potential benefits of legal diversity.

AbstractThis article presents a portrait of New Granada's colonial lawyers. Though it focuses primarily on individuals qualified to practise law before theAudiencia, it deals not just with practising lawyers as such but also with those who, despite being qualified to practise law, ended up choosing other occupations; in particular, joining the bureaucracy. It examines the social characteristics, family strategies, and bureaucratic careers of these professionals to demonstrate how, as chief competitors for state jobs, lawyers complemented their clans' power in important ways. By providing a vital component of the colonial elite's survival kit – bureaucratic power – they increased their families' overall influence, honour, and social status. In doing so, some lawyers came to build true family-bureaucratic networks which proved resistant to the late colonial Bourbon reforms that sought to undo them.

Abstract:
The first Spanish expedition into New Mexico took place in 1598 under Juan de Oñate. Less than a century later, Spanish settlers were expelled from Santa Fe during the Pueblo revolt of 1680 and the Crown was unable to reestablish control until 1692. New Mexico thereafter remained little more than an insecure settlement on the northern edge of Spain's American empire. Like that of the other frontier marches, New Mexico's status changed dramatically after 1750, when Spain, impelled by growing foreign pressure, sought to strengthen the defensive margins of its possessions. New Mexico, Cuba, and the Argentine colony, for example, all received renewed attention in Madrid. Their subsequent development was dramatically altered by the metropolitan response to the Seven Years War (1756–1763), measures known collectively as the Bourbon reforms.

Abstract:
AbstractEconomic reforms introduced by the Bourbon Monarchy after A.D. 1750 ushered in an Hispanic social formation in the northern Rio Grande identified as Vecino. Aspects of Vecino gendered economy are examined through a detailed analysis of five ceramic assemblages from the Chama and Taos Valleys of New Mexico. Geochemical (NAA) and stylistic clues identify the ethnic identities of producers and their relationships to Vecino consumers. Evidence for ceramic production by Vecino women during the nineteenth century is evaluated on the basis of detailed paste analysis of plain and micaceous ceramics as well as the occurrence of pottery-producing tools and clay-cleaning debris. Analytical results reveal that Jicarilla women dominated the production of micaceous cook ware to supply Vecino kitchens. Implications for understanding Vecino economics and the constitution of female-based systems of economic value are considered.

Abstract By reinterpreting the recent literature on the fiscal history of Spain and Spanish America during the long span of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, Irigoin and Grafe have written a major revisionist essay that will probably change the way historians think about intra-imperial fiscal relations and that raises many important issues regarding the strategies of local elites within the imperial structure. They also demonstrate that the analysis of the internal dynamics of the Spanish empire can contribute forcefully to contemporary debates on the comparative study of eighteenth-century empires. Nonetheless, numerous facets of the essay run counter to the findings of many historians who have laboriously reconstructed the Bourbon tax system in Spanish America. A reading of the historical literature produced over the last two decades suggests that while political negotiations between the Spanish monarchy and privileged corporations and urban governments were of great importance, it would be a mistake to discount the importance of coercion and censorship as essential and frequently used instruments of the crown and the powerful to maintain the status quo. These were common instruments in the metropolis but were not infrequently applied with singular severity in the colonies. In the case of Spanish America in the second half of the eighteenth century, the nature of coercion and the brutal response to popular protests (particularly tax revolts) have been analyzed by numerous historians but are downplayed in the essay under discussion. Similarly, it is important to note that most recent historical studies demonstrate that the fiscal reforms carried out by the Bourbon regime throughout Spanish America were much more homogeneous and successful in extracting a rapidly rising level of tax resources from the colonial population than the authors would appear to suggest.

Abstract:
AbstractThe following paper examines archaeological variability in community organization of sites in the parroquia de Yaxcaba. Yucatan, Mexico, from a.d. 1750 to 1847. Using historical and archaeological evidence, the course of political-economic change in Yucatan is followed from the recovery of the Indian population in 1750, through the Bourbon reforms and Independence from Spain, to the Caste War of Yucatan in 1847 in order to assess its implications for continuity or discontinuity of Maya adaptive patterns. Three settlements—a pueblo, a hacienda, and an independent rancho—were intensively mapped to reveal patterns of house lots, streets, features, plazas, and public architecture. Differences in spatial organization among the settlements can be specifically linked to variation in population growth, tax structure, and land stress coincident with changes in the colonial regime. Variation in household production strategies and the choice of tactics that minimize subsistence risk were largely dependent on the community's degree of integration with the colonial system. The evidence from Yaxcaba suggests that two key processes are particularly important in determining articulations between rural and urban areas: disenfranchisement from the means of production and the extension of credit. These two processes affect variation in the relations of production that partly explain how communities either become entangled in or remain apart from political-economic change.

Reconstructs how Louis Balbes des Berton, or Duke of Crillón y Mahón, a Frenchman naturalized as Spaniard, attempted to persuade the Spanish Crown to grant him liberal commercial and colonizing concessions in Puerto Rico in the later 18th c. Author describes how Crillón at first wanted to settle and colonize parts of Santo Domingo near French St Domingue, but the Crown refused this, as part of increased measures against (further) foreign encroachments in Spanish territories, and granted him land in Puerto Rico in 1776 instead, for growing sugar, coffee, and other crops. He places this within the context of the Bourbon reforms, aimed at preventing foreign intrusions in more peripheral Spanish colonies like Puerto Rico then, by aligning these with Spanish imperial objectives. Author further relates how Crillón sought to elaborate the land grant through planning, proposals, and several appeals to the Spanish Crown, up to 1796, for concessions to facilitate his introduction and trading in African slaves, and exempting him from certain extant legal taxes and requirements regarding colonists and land sale, aiming to achieve a sort of feudal power. These proposals and appeals, or calls for financial support, were mainly dismissed by the Crown, seemingly for several legal reasons or transgressions. The author argues, however, that while Crillón was avaricious, the Crown's dismissal related as much to Crillón being a foreigner, whose loyalty to Spain seemed doubtful to some Hispanophiles in the Crown's inner circle.

Abstract:
Abstract Colonial inhabitants of Mexico City were accustomed to coping with natural disasters, including disease epidemics, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, which menaced rich and poor alike and stirred fervent devotion to miraculous images and their shrines. This article revisits the late colonial history of the shrine of Our Lady of the Angels, an image preserved miraculously on an adobe wall in the Indian quarter of Santiago Tlatelolco. The assumption has been that archiepiscopal authorities aiming to deflect public worship toward a more austere, interior spirituality suppressed activities there after 1745 because they saw the devotion as excessively Indian and Baroque. The shrine has served as a barometer of eighteenth-century Bourbon reforms even though its story has not been fully told. This article explores the politics of patronage in the years after the shrine’s closure and in the decades prior to the arrival on the scene of a new Spanish patron in 1776, revealing that Indian caretakers kept the faith well beyond the official intervention, with some help from well-placed Spanish devotees and officials. The efforts of the new patron, a Spanish tailor from the city center, to renovate the building and image and secure the necessary permissions and privileges helped transform the site into one of the most famous in the capital. Attention to earlier patterns of patronage and to the social response to a series of tremors that coincided with his promotional efforts helps to explain why a devotion so carefully managed for enlightened audiences was nevertheless cut from old cloth.

Abstract:
A comienzos del siglo XVIII la monarquía hispánica dio inicio a una serie de reformas aplicables para todo el imperio pero con especial impacto sobre los territorios coloniales de América. Dichas reformas se implementaron sobre ámbitos tan diversos como la economía, la política, la administración terri-torial y la defensa y la seguridad del imperio, entre otros. El propósito de dichas reformas fue ejercer un mayor control sobre los territorios imperiales, buscando sacar mayor provecho de sus recursos y fortalecer las arcas de la Corona, al tiempo que se mejoraba la gobernabilidad. La ampliación y aplica-ción rigurosa de las reformas a partir del reinado de Carlos III (1759-1788) dieron lugar a una serie de tensiones entre la metrópoli y una buena parte de la población de los territorios coloniales afectada por las medidas, tensiones que profundizaron las contradicciones de un sistema que priorizaba los intereses de una parte en detrimento de los de la otra. Este trabajo constituye una reflexión acerca de la manera como medidas de tipo administrativo, aplicadas muchas veces sin considerar de manera integral los intereses y particularidades de las partes implicadas, constituyeron agentes de transforma-ción a nivel político, económico, cultural y social de profundas consecuencias tanto para la metrópoli como para las colonias.

After the Spanish colonized California in 1769, Franciscans from the Apostolic College of San Fernando (Mexico City) established missions but implemented a new model to more rapidly integrate indigenous populations into colonial society as per the expectations of royal officials. The indigenous populations were to be congregated on mission communities organized on the grid plan and were to live in European-style housing. This article examines the reform of missions in the Sierra Gorda, Baja California, on the ex-Jesuit missions among the Guarani in South America, and then those in California among the Chumash. It analyzes the process of congregation and the mission urban plan, resistance, and demographic collapse resulting from congregation.

Abstract:
La etiqueta borgoñona, implantada en España desde 1548, era inflexible y opresiva, pero conocida y respetada por toda la corte. Fijaba el ceremonial de todos los actos para cada persona incluido el monarca. Todos los derechos y privilegios estaban regulados y los principales beneficiarios eran los grandes. La etiqueta les aseguraba no solo la proximidad con el monarca, de la que se derivan innumerables beneficios y honores, sino también un papel político muy importante. Se puede decir que eran los dueños de la corte, y a diferencia de la francesa, la corte española se presentaba como una oligarquía de grandes (Bottineau, p.132).Con la llegada de la dinastía borbón a España la etiqueta borgoñona no desapareció, pero se produjeron transformaciones muy importantes mediante pequeñas pero continuas disposiciones de clara influencia francesa en los distintos reglamentos que se dictaron y en los ceremoniales que se establecieron al gusto de la corte de Versalles.Felipe V llegó al trono español bajo la tutela de su abuelo, el Rey Sol. Luis XIV consideraba que la decadencia de la monarquía española y la falta de autoridad del rey eran consecuencia de la etiqueta borgoñona, que propiciaba una excesiva invisibilidad que aislaba al monarca y le sometía a un encierro, vigilado por los grandes que aumentaba su poder sobre él. Consideraba que la única manera de restablecer la autoridad del rey era la reforma de la etiqueta.Pero la grandeza española se resistió a estos cambios. Opuso una tenaz lucha contra las reformas de Felipe V, dispuesta a no ceder sin resistencia ni uno solo de sus privilegios cerca de la persona del rey (Gómez-Centurión, 1996, p.988).________________________The Burgundian label, implanted in Spain since 1548, was inflexible and oppressive, but known and respected by the entire court. It fixed the ceremonial of all the acts for each person including the monarch. All rights and privileges were regulated and the main beneficiaries were the great ones. The label assured them not only the proximity to the monarch, from which countless benefits and honors are derived, but also a very important political role. It can be said that they were the owners of the court, and unlike the French, the Spanish court presented itself as a great oligarchy (Bottineau, p.132).With the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain the Burgundian label did not disappear, but very important transformations took place through small but continuous provisions of clear French influence in the different regulations that were issued and in the ceremonies that were established to the liking of the court of Versailles.Felipe V came to the Spanish throne under the tutelage of his grandfather, the Sun King. Louis XIV considered that the decline of the Spanish monarchy and the lack of authority of the king were a consequence of the Burgundian label, which led to excessive invisibility that isolated the monarch and subjected him to a confinement, watched over by the greats who increased their power over him. He considered that the only way to restore the king's authority was to reform the label.But Spanish greatness resisted these changes. She opposed a tenacious fight against the reforms of Felipe V, willing not to yield without resistance not a single one of his privileges near the person of the king (Gómez-Centurión, 1996, p.988).
