Apalache Indians filed a complaint on the deputy governor's wife
Juana Catarina of the important Florencia family, married to the deputy governor of Apalache Province, behaved more like a feudal chatelain than the wife of a captain. She required one native to bring her a pitcher of milk daily, obliged the town of San Luis to furnish six women to grind maize at her husband’s gristmill, and slapped a chief in the face one Friday when he neglected to bring her fish. [Note 12: Don Patricio, Chief of Ivitachuco, and don Andres, Chief of San Luis, Apalache 2/12/1699.]
