The objective of this work is to analyze the “Ovandine reforms” in Nueva Galicia, under the presidency and government of Jerónimo de Orozco of the Audiencia of Guadalajara, based on the correspondence between the Audiencia and the Council of the Indies, and the king. Beyond the war “a fuego y a sangre” of the Viceroy Martín Enríquez, the text analyzes the pacification policies from the perspective of doctor Orozco in coincidence with the reforms of Juan de Ovando and with the policy of defense of the indigenous population, this as part of the consolidation of the Castilian Monarchy in the Indies.
