          Abstract

          Los descendientes de los conquistadores y primeros pobladores de Nueva España, individuos políticamente irrelevantes que desde mediados del siglo XVI conformaban la categoría de los "beneméritos de Indias", se aferraron al logro de una merced real como premio a los servicios de sus antepasados. Con el fin de aliviar su situación, que podía poner en peligro la paz social del reino y la propia autoridad de los gobernantes, los virreyes de la Nueva España pusieron en práctica algunos remedios paliativos. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo se utilizan diversas fuentes, especialmente correspondencia y memorias de los virreyes novohispanos.

          Translated abstract

          The descendants of the conquerors and first settlers of New Spain, who had been politically irrelevant individuals in the 'Indian benemeritos' class since the mid 16th century, pursued royal grace in reward of their ancestors' services. In order to alleviate their situation, which might have placed social peace in the kingdom or even the rulers' authority in danger, the viceroys of New Spain instituted some palliative measures. This work relies on various sources, but particularly on letters and memories of New Spain's viceroys.
