Abstract
The interface of history, social hierarchy and theatre in Bourbon Spanish America is examined in this essay on Fernando de Orbea's La conquista de Santa Fe de Bogotá , which dates from early eighteenth-century Peru. Through a formal and ideological analysis of this tragedy, it becomes clear that Orbea intended to convey an emotionally-charged and highly stylized version of the Conquest that would also address the Bourbon "conquest" of the Spanish Habsburg throne during a pivotal period in the history of the Monarquía .
