Adelantado (English spelling)

Japanese: アデランタード(英語表記)adelantado
Adelantado (English spelling)
The title of the frontier development and defense official used during the Reconquista period of the Kingdom of Castile. It can be translated as Governor of the Frontier. The king granted military judicial authority over a certain territory, and the governor had a strong sense of autonomy, taking responsibility for the expansion and development of the occupied territory. When Spain explored the New World and expanded its colonies, it revived this title, granting the conquistador (explorer) the right to collect taxes, administer the territory, and appoint and dismiss officials and clergy, in return for a personal fee.
