BRIZUELA MOLINA, SOFIA. "The Greatest Derision that there has been on this Earth". Abuse of Power, Persecution and Violence around the Founding of the Carmel of Santafé de Bogotá (1597-1608). Front. hist. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.1, pp.8-34. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.523.
Studies about the foundation of convents allow an exceptional understanding of the conflicts, tensions and disputes inside any society. In this article the establishment of a nunnery in Santafé (1606) reveals the latent conflict between the descendants of the first conquistadors and the Audiencia officials. Beyond the issues of spirituality, this case-study shows the multiple intersections of conquistadors’ families and their efforts to defend their privileges and social standings from the threats of the Crown policies and its officers.
