Florida creole friars ran off 17 Spanish friars
The 9 new friars who arrived from Spain in 1719 found them entrenched and unwilling to share their newfound authority. Philip V and the Franciscan Commissary General dispatched another 10 friars, trying to create a peninsular bloc, but the creoles made all 19 Spaniards so miserable that by 1727, 17 of them had taken ship for Havana.
