Abstract
Este estudio explora el contexto socio
jurídico que rodeó el intento de Francisco
Martín Hincapié de migrar de España a Santo
Domingo en 1607, centrándose en los marcos
regulatorios que gobernaron la migración desde
Castilla y León a principios del siglo XVII.
Profundiza en las implicaciones de las Leyes
de Toro, que configuraron aspectos legales de
la sucesión, los derechos matrimoniales y la
migración, particularmente en lo que respecta
a la bigamia y las obligaciones familiares. A
través de un examen detallado de las fuentes
documentales del Archivo General de Indias,
el artículo destaca los obstáculos burocráticos y
legales que enfrentaron Hincapié y su familia,
incluida la necesidad de una prueba de pureza
cristiana (limpieza de sangre) y el cumplimiento
de las leyes matrimoniales. La interrupción
de su viaje por factores geopolíticos, como
conflictos navales, y su eventual papel como
escribano real en Sevilla, están documentados
junto con las obligaciones legales impuestas a su
esposa, María González Muñiz
This study explores the socio-legal context surrounding Francisco Martín Hincapié’s attempt to migrate from Spain to Santo Domingo in 1607, focusing on the regulatory frameworks that governed migration from Castile and León during the early 17th century. It delves into the implications of the Laws of Toro, which shaped legal aspects of succession, marital rights, and migration, particularly regarding bigamy and familial obligations. Through a detailed examination of archival sources from the Archivo General de Indias, the paper highlights the bureaucratic and legal hurdles faced by Hincapié and his family, including the need for proof of Christian purity (limpieza de sangre) and adherence to marriage laws. The interruption of his journey due to geopolitical factors, such as naval conflicts, and his eventual role as a royal scribe in Seville, are documented alongside the legal obligations imposed on his wife, María González Muñiz
