]]> One of the most outstanding peculiarities of the history of the Basque provinces lies in the existence of a foral regime, inherited from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary Age. The fueros, with some exceptions, are laws particular to a town, territory, social group or institution.

]]> The governor of the Kingdom of Aragon was an extremely important political post. He was appointed for life and could delegate his functions. His jurisdiction extended over the whole kingdom and he was responsible, among other things, for public order, the guarantee of royal rights and royalties. It became increasingly important, especially after the court moved to Castile following the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs. The election of the governor had to include his membership of the nobility (cloak and dagger). The end of this political office came with the dismantling of the foral system with the arrival of the Bourbons. The support of a large part of the Crown of Aragon for the Austracist pretender led Philip V to put an end to this type of institution on the basis of a legitimate right of conquest.

]]> Institutional changes took place in the Crown of Aragon that gradually modified some of the positions in the administration. One of these posts that evolved in accordance with the political situation was that of governor, which until the Middle Ages was associated with the first-born son of the crown or another member of the royal house. During the modern age, this post evolved into the figure of the portanveus. This was because, on many occasions, the first-born did not hold the office as he was not usually in the kingdom. Thus, despite the future transformation of the office, the protanveus remained in essence a regent. His powers included a wide range of crimes and appeals, arbitration and special jurisdiction over lords. Among the most serious crimes were lèse majesté and the minting of false money, among others. In the kingdom of Valencia, there were two portanveus that corresponded to two demarcations: That of Valencia, which was much larger, and that of Orihuela.
