About This Book
A chronological account of the kingdom's political and institutional life, tracing the actions of successive governors, ministers, and military leaders as they confront rebellion, foreign threat, and public calamities. The narrative focuses on administrative and judicial reforms, efforts to curb noble privilege and corruption, and the fiscal and social consequences of epidemics and warfare. Chapters interweave biographical sketches, official deliberations, and case examples to show how courts, magistrates, and viceroyal authority attempted to restore order and reshape governance, illustrating the tensions between centralized power and local elites and the practical mechanics of administering justice and public finance.
