Interest to study “lesa majestad” transgressions emerged from reading the distinct narratives that mention the amount of indians executed for being involved in riots and rebellions that were repressed by the visitor José de Gálvez in the northwest of the viceroyalty of New Spain; we describe in some detail the events that took place in the Río Fuerte villages. This work is developed from the descriptions made by Juan de Viniegra and Eusebio Bentura Beleña.
