Gov. Villegas named the accountant and sergeant major to co-govern on his deathbed
Governor Rodriguez de Villegas, when he was dying, named Accountant Nicolas Ponce de Leon governor of peace, in charge of the exchequer and of justice, and Sergeant Major Eugenio de Espinosa governor of war.
...The crown endorsed these assumptions of power with reservations. Rodriguez de Villegas was charged at his posthumous residencia with having given the post of governor of peace to the accountant, knowing it was incompatible with his duties. [Note 41: Gov. Horruytiner, in residencia of Gov. Rodriguez de Villegas 1633-35]
