Abstract

At the begining of the reign of Felipe V, administrative reforms were carried on to replace the «Consejos Territoriales» by «Secretarios de Despacho». The aim was to achieve a more centralized state through the person of the King. Those reforms were implemented, among others, by Jean Orry, commanded by Luis XIV to improve the Spanish Royal Treasure, and the first «Secretarios de Despacho de Guerra», Marques de Canales, appointes in 1703, and José Grimaldo, nominated in 1705. Those new schemes clashed the interests of the «Consejos», particularly of the powerfull «Consejo de Castilla». Even though this organism preserved its powers, the measures designed by the Bourbons underlaid the politics of the monarchy until the end of the Oíd Regime.
