Abstract
The sale of public offices is a question little known in the territory of Portuguese America in times of the Iberian Union, between 1580 and 1640. New documents, found in Spanish archives, such as the Archivo General de Simancas and the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, give us interesting information about the plans of reform during the reign of Philip III (II of Portugal), sale of offices, ways of appointment of officers, and suspicion of corruption in the practices of royal agents.
