Although the power of the viceroys and the elites had increased since the end of the 16th century, under the protection of buoyant mining production, the polysynodial system did not allow Peruvian elites to rise within it. This resulted in a system circumvented through tricks, advice, and even by evading laws and corrupting patronage, which would end up vitiating the system of gifts that had previously worked successfully and allowed the union of the Hispanic empire in the beginnings of modern Europe.En este artículo se analiza cómo el reparto del poder entre las instituciones peninsulares y los virreyes coexistió a la par de vías legales y oficiosas que se establecieron para dar cabida a las aspiraciones de los diversos estamentos virreinales. Si bien el poder de los virreyes y el de las élites aumentó desde finales del siglo XVI bajo el amparo de la boyante producción minera, el sistema polisinodial no permitió el ascenso de las élites peruanas al interior de este. El resultado fue un sistema cuyos fundamentos fueron burlados con artimañas, consejos y hasta con la evasión del cumplimiento de las leyes y la corrupción del patronazgo, lo que terminaría viciando el sistema de dones que había funcionado con éxito y permitido la unión del imperio hispánico en los inicios de la Europa moderna.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2024-10-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/2978910.18800/historica.202401.002Histórica; Vol. 48 Núm. 1 (2024); 45-812223-375X0252-8894reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/29789/26802http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/297892024-10-18T21:32:35Z
