where did the last name palafox come from?
spain
although he performed the functions of viceroy and his name consistently appears in the lists of viceroys of new spain, technically torres y rueda never formally held the title. his title was "gobernador" (governor). because he was not fully empowered as viceroy, he could not make appointments to office or remove officeholders, which left viceroy salvatierra's clients in place. torres y rueda was initially a firm supporter of palafox, and so when offices became vacant, torres appointed american-born spaniards, following palafox's aim to favor them over peninsular-born candidates. furthermore, he dismissed complaints by the jesuits against palafox about palafox's putting education in the hands of the secular clergy in puebla and removing it from jesuits. torres wrote the king that "he was in entire agreement with the bishop of puebla [palafox] over how new spain should be governed." however, torres subsequently abandoned his support of palafox and reform. torres's advisers were major figures who supported viceroy salvatierra. torres himself started pursuing practices that brought wealth to himself, including deals with judges and merchants allowing him amass a huge fortune.
