Just curious about the title of CAPITAN of the 16th and 17th centuries in Mexico.
Just curious about the title of CAPITAN of the 16th and 17th centuries in Mexico.
Was it just a military title and / or was it an honorary title awarded to influential prominent and educated men?
Was it also a title much like the British do when it dubs prominent men with Knighthood and the title of SIR?
Many of my ancestors carry that title but I wonder if they were really military officers.
Just asking.
