The important role that the royal seal had, as much as a representative of the monarch´s leading figure as for its validation and guarantee use, is perfectly reflected on those moments of the history when uprisings or riots against the Crown took place by the Spanish population of the New World. By means of the analysis of diverse events that took place during the XVI Century at the Audience of the New Kingdom of Granada I want to demonstrate the importance of the royal seal on those territories. The documents preserved in the Archivo General de Indias, completed with chronicles of the time and a rich bibliography have helped me to understand and transmit the feelings that rose at this time around the figure of the royal seal.
