Notes

  • -  Cobos notes his lack of knowledge in matters of the Indies but out of obedience he gives his opinion. He first recalls previous consultations in which it had been decided to make the encomiendas perpetual by one form or another. Later, when Antonio de Mendoza was sent out to New Spain as Viceroy, he was instructed to send a detailed report so that the allotment of Indians could be made. Meanwhile, wives and children were permitted to inherit the encomienda. He mentions the deliberations held preparatory to issuing the New Laws and his view that in regard to the distribution of Indians, they would cause trouble. Such trouble had arisen, endangering the colonies and costing the Crown much money.
