Abstract

Overlapping jurisdiction was a central feature of the monarchy and forms of social organization in the Portuguese Ancient Regime. The various governing bodies that shaped society, such as government agencies, faced constant conflicts of jurisdiction due to the overlapping of functions that were a result of the singular policy of the Portuguese Crown. These conflicts of jurisdiction were common in all Portuguese colonies, especially in the captaincies of Portuguese America. This study aims to analyze the conflict of jurisdiction between the captain-major of Rio Grande, José Pereira da Fonseca, and the Royal treasurer, José Soares, in the year of 1726.
