Abstract

The article analizes the top posts in the royal administration in the different kingdoms that comprised the Crown of Aragón at the begining of Modern Age: the viceroy or the general lieutenant, who acted as the monarch when he was not present; the governorgeneral represented (theoretically) the royal heir in his absence, and the titulars of the different sections in the royal finances, the “maestro racional”, the general treasurer and his lieutenants, the Supreme Council of the Crown of Aragon and the Audiencias, considered the Royal council in each kingdom. In each different case we study in depth the family and social atmosphere of the titulars of the mentioned posts.
