*Curaca .- proper name for the andean Warlord, cacique was used for caribbeans only
**The Audience.- The most important institution after the figure of the viceroy was the Real Audiencia. The viceroyalty of Peru had two audiences: that of Lima (created by the New Laws of 1542 and installed in 1544), whose jurisdiction encompassed all the cities and provinces of South America; and that of Cuzco, created in 1787; subordinated to that of Lima. In general terms, the function of this body was a mixture of powers, as it not only governed politically and administratively, but also was a superior court in civil and criminal matters. Their functions concerned the elaboration of laws in favor of the natives, first instance court for criminal trials, court of appeals against the sentences of corregidores and inferior mayors, etc.
The Audiencia acted as an advisor to the viceroy, for which it often absolved the inquiries made by the viceroy. In the same way, it was in charge of taking the reins of the viceroyalty when the viceroy was ill or died suddenly.
