#alcazi

• Alcaldes — Magistrates, mayors, or high-ranking judicial and administrative officials in medieval Spain and its former colonies in Latin America. It represents the plural form of the noun 'alcade' (or 'alcalde'), a term utilized in world historiography to denote the body of local governors of settlements during the Hispanic imperial period.
• Alcade investiture — A hypothetical term, regional variant, or extremely rare corrupted form found in old manuscripts for the process of appointing or exercising the function of an alcade (alcalde); it can also represent a historical graphic confusion for the word 'alcătuire'. In the old Spanish administrative context, it symbolically described the takeover of local power by a magistrate.
• Alcade-governed — Having undergone the process of alcăzire; appointed to the office of alcade or governed by a local Spanish magistrate. It may also represent a historically altered form or a copyist error in old manuscripts for the word 'alcătuit', retaining within a corrupted context the meaning of being formed or structurally arranged.
