Abstract

The historiography of foreigners in the context of the Hispanic Monarchy has traditionally focused on three main issues: the legal definition of the foreigner, their identity or identities, and their strategies for integration and assimilation in their adopted land. From a legal perspective, the Spanish Crown established a clear distinction between natives of the kingdom and foreigners, especially regarding the possibility of holding positions in the viceregal administration or the right to travel to the Indies and trade with them. However, daily practice reveals that the Crown's policy of control was both flexible and tolerant, and it enabled spaces for negotiation to allow—in its overseas territories—the legal presence of foreigners through naturalization letters, transit licenses, or settlement agreements.
