After the War of the Spanish Succession, the Spanish internal order underwent changes aimed at establishing a centralised administration. The territorial privileges and privileges were left behind in much of the Peninsula and the defeated were removed from administrative responsibilities. The document is a reflection of this fact: on 15 April 1716 the Audiencia de Cataluña (replacing the Junta de Gobierno) was set up. The Council of Castile decided that both the Public Prosecutors and the Regent had to be Castilian, as did many of the Oidores. On the other hand, the Alcalde del Crimen would have to be Catalonian because of the work involved in their field. In total, of the 18 Ministros Togados of the Audiencia, 7 were Catalan, 8 Castilian, 2 Aragonese and 1 unspecified.

According to the study, in the first half of the 18th century, the young people of Madrid preferred to wear French-style dress, i.e. a jacket, jacket and breeches. On the other hand, Spanish dress was relegated to a much smaller number; 26 as opposed to 9 references to clothing. The French influence in Spain on a cultural level took off with the change of power on the Spanish throne after the War of the Spanish Succession. The French style also included the characteristic accessories of Versailles, such as fine hats with silver ribbons, hairpieces and their own dresses. However, the quality and composition of Spanish clothing was still of a higher quality. From the Notarial Protocols studied, all the imported French dresses were of poorer quality than the Spanish or English ones. Thus, the fine cloth dress from Segobia, lined in black serge, was valued at 240 reales; and the military dress with jacket, jacket and two pairs of fine cloth breeches from England was valued at 480.
