adelantado
''Adelantado'' ((:aðelanˈtaðo)) was a title held by Spanish nobles in service of their respective kings during the Middle Ages. It was later used as a military title held by some Spanish ''conquistadores'' of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries.
''Adelantados'' were granted directly by the Monarch the right to become governors and justices of a specific region, which they were charged with conquering, in exchange for funding and organizing the initial explorations, settlements and pacification of the target area on behalf of the Crown of Castile. These areas were usually outside the jurisdiction of an existing ''audiencia'' or viceroy, and ''adelantados'' were authorized to communicate directly with the Council of the Indies.〔Fisher, Lillian Estelle. ''Viceregal Administration in the Spanish American Colonies''. Berkeley, University of California Press, 1926, 81.〕
==The ''reconquista''==
The term has its origins in the ''reconquista''. The term comes from the phrase ''por adelantado'' (Spanish: "in advance", although translations stating "one who goes before" and "the forward man" are also found), which in turn is a calque of the Arabic term ''al-muqaddám''. As early as the 11th century a few Castilian and Navarrese documents use the word, but do not specify the powers or duties of the office.
The earliest definitely known ''adelentado'' was appointed by Alfonso X in 1253 in the recently conquered territory of "''La Frontera''" (Andalusia). However the office had precedents in the duties and rights held by some officers of the Navarrese dynasty of Castile and León, and Álvar Fáñez or Fortún Sánchez in the Ebro valley performed similar services in detached territories beyond the frontier. It was during this time that the Siete Partidas, commissioned by Alfonso X, more precisely identified the powers of the office. That law code created the position of an ''adelantado mayor'', who was at the same time an intermediary appellate judge, located in the judicial hierarchy between local justices and the king's court, and an executive officer, who as a direct representative of the king, was charged with implementing royal orders in his assigned area. Most appointees were from the upper nobility or the royal family. After its success in Andalusia, the institution was introduced in the northern areas of the peninsula, merging with, and becoming indistinguishable from an older judicial office, the Royal ''Merinos''.
