The issue is addressed in the context of Solórzano's doctrinal contemporary sources. The main conclusion is that Solórzano supported the former view. Nevertheless, this study ends up by analyzing a juridical institution that could have fuelled the thesis of a direct and personnel link between the Indies and the Castilian monarch.
