…Following reports of the tyranny and corruption of the Mexican Audiencia, the Spanish Crown felt the need to provide a charismatic official to rule the Indies as the king's representative and as a successor to the native sovereigns, and appointed Antonio de Mendoza as the first viceroy of New Spain in 1529 (actually reigning from 1535 to 1550). Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, most viceroys came from the upper Spanish aristocracy, but from the 18th century onwards, viceroys often came from minor nobles or middle-class men of enlightened minds, such as Manuel de Amat y Junyent of Peru (1761-76) and Francisco Gil de Taboada y Lemos (1790-96). The viceroys were all native Spanish (peninsulars) appointed to the colony, and of the 100 or so viceroys in the colony's history, only five or fewer were criollos.
