Main Article Content

Gibran Bautista y Lugo

Based on the comparison of four cases that occurred between 1592 and 1653, the article addresses the common aspects of the language of royal mercy in the Hispanic Monarchy as a compensation mechanism in cities in rebellion, as well as the particularities of its exercise by various types of mediators. Reincorporation dynamics in conflict scenarios are examined, as are the conventional elements of royal clemency formulated as a result of the intervention of authorities, rebel groups and mediators, as well as the graduations in which royal mercy was formulated, from selective forgiveness to general nullity and its perlocutionary effects, as a trigger of court negotiation forums.
