"Por Una Merced en Estos Reinos" allows the reader to establish a link between the Bishopric of Popayán, as well as its prelates and prebends, and other broader spaces of monarchical power. It questions whether it should continue to define itself as a low-profile bishopric or if it is possible to identify a decisive role in the South Indies.Thus, these reflections present the ways in which the members of the Hispanic cathedral elites devised family, political and social strategies to achieve ecclesiastical promotion, and, then, by determining the relationships between subject-conflict networks -circulations in a bishopric like that of Popayán, will lead to understand the implicit connection between the network of Indian cathedrals in the period from 1546 to 1714,to understand the mediation of the Royal Patronage in ecclesiastical promotions and in the tensions between powers and, finally, to demonstrate how the circulation of a bishop or a prebendary connected attitudes, clienteles, devotions, interests, projects, negotiations and friendships between the elites ."
