Tourism & Travel / history of the Casa de la Contratación in Seville | | Spanish term or phrase: Audiencia y Tribunal de Justicia | Audiencia y Tribunal de Justicia
Along with other functions listed individually, such as "Centro de investigación científica, cartográfica y náutica", and acting as a supervisory body in various capacities regarding trade with the Indies...
Here, I don't know what the difference is between the 2 terms, both of which mean a "court" as far as I can tell. Numerous glossary entries list "audiencia" as "hearing" or "court", but I don't really see how either would fit in here. Is this some other type of court?
It's talking about the early 16th century
I'd be very grateful for any clarification - many thanks! |

Audiencia

Jump to: navigation, search
For the modern court, see Audiencia Nacional of Spain.
The Royal Audiencia and Chancillería (in modern Spanish spelling: Real audiencia y cancillería, and Catalan: Reial audiència) was a court that functioned as an appellate court in Spain and its empire. The name of the institution has been sometimes translated as Royal Audience. The designation cancillería was applied to the courts of last resort in Early Modern Spain. Each audiencia had oidores (Spanish: judges, literally, "hearers"). The first audiencia was founded at Valladolid in the kingdom of Castile in 1371. The Valladolid Audiencia functioned as the highest court in Castile for the next two centuries. After the union of the crowns of Castile and Aragon to form the crown of Spain and the Spanish conquest of Granada in 1492, the audiencia was divided in two, with the Audiencia of Valladolid taking cases from north of the River Tagus (Tajo), and the Audiencia of Granada (1494) taking cases from south of the river.
Under Charles V and Philip II, the audiencia system was extended first to Aragon (1528) and then to the rest of the Spanish Empire. Audiencias in cities that belong to Spain today included Seville (1566), Las Palmas (1568), Majorca (1571), Asturias (1717), and Extremadura (1790).

Asker: many thanks for this great help! Are you saying that Audiencia is a Court of Appeal and the Tribunal de Justicia is - as I assumed - the Court of Justice?
Asker: that really is great - it seems to clinch definitively your suggestion of using the Spanish. Thanks once again!
