                    [Summary] => Today, October 11, 1719, Governor-General Fernando de Bustamante is murdered in his palace by a mob led by friars.


In 1636, Governor Corcuera, like Governor Dasmariñas, complained to the king that the friars were infinitely more powerful than the Crown's representatives. But monastic supremacy was a fact of life the King's representatives had to live with. Those who dared oppose the religious courted humiliation and even death. Governor Diego de Salcedo was imprisoned by the Inquisition and died a broken man while he was being shipped back to Mexico in 1669.
