Abstract

REVILLA CANORA, Javier. Tan gran maldad no ha de hallar clemencia ni en mí piedad: The murder of the Marquis of Camarasa, Viceroy of Sardinia, 1668. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1669-9041.

The murder of the Viceroy of Sardinia, Marquis of Camarasa, took place under a climate of insular instability, due to socioeconomic reasons and to the weakening of royal power at the end of Philip IV reign and the Regency of Mariana of Austria. The new Sardinian Viceroy, Francesco Tuttavila, Duke of San Germán, was in charge of hearing the judicial process to clarify the aforementioned murder, and of restoring the order in the kingdom of Sardinia. The intention of this article is to analyze, in the light of unpublished documents, the context of the murder and the subsequent process which culminated in the Pregón General (1670). As the result of this verdict, a new order in the Sardinian policy organization was established as well as the legislation on the laesa offense maiestatis by Rafael de Villosa.

Keywords : Mariana of Austria; Sardinia; Murder; San Germán; Camarasa.
