Spain began giving sergeant majors cedulas naming him interim governor
Then, beginning with Eugenio de Espinosa in 1632, each successive sergeant major received a standard cedula naming him interim governor-elect in military matters—a provision which conflicted with the cedula to the governors and caused confusion whenever the governorship fell vacant. Espinosa was a murderous old man obviously unfit to govern.
