The article discusses the appointment of Nicolás de Villalobos as general protector of the Indians in the New Kingdom of León in the Viceroyalty of New Spain during the early 18th century, in order to stem conflict between indigenous peoples and Spanish colonizers in the kingdom. It describes how his permission to occupy the position was withdrawn by governor Francisco de Barbadillo Victoria immediately after his appointment by viceroy Baltasar de Zúñiga y Guzmán. The article further describes how Villalobos spent many years seeking an explanation for this withdrawal. It explains that he was never reinstated in the position, but was eventually appointed as a governor in the Viceroyalty of Peru.
