]]> 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.
