The article examines the prosecutors that headed "La Audencia de Grados y Alcaldes de Cuadra de la ciudad de Sevilla," considered to be the most important court of the Spanish Monarchy, during the eighteenth century. The position of prosecutor was especially important amongst the ministers of the court, as the prosecutor was the primary individual through which the monarchy interacted with the court. The article details factors such as birth, upbringing, and career trajectories of some of the more notable prosecutors.
