Real Audiencia of Santo Domingo

The Real Audiencia of Santo Domingo (transl. "Royal Audience of Santo Domingo") was the first court of the Spanish crown in America. It was created by Ferdinand V of Castile in his decree of 1511, but due to disagreements between the governor of Hispaniola, Diego Colon and the Crown, it was not implemented until it was reestablished by Charles V in his decree of September 14, 1526.
