the viceroy
Also known as: viceroy of Barcelona · Role: governor · First appears: Part 2, Ch. 61
As governor and viceroy of Barcelona, he was an enemy of Roque Guinart in Part 2, Ch. 61; “the many proclamations the viceroy of Barcelona had issued against his life” kept Roque Guinart fearful and uneasy. In Ch. 63.2, he questioned the condemned rais about his identity and origin, asking whether he was Turk, Moor, or renegade.
In Ch. 63.3–64.2, the viceroy became a patron to Ana Félix, Ricote, Don Gaspar Gregorio, Don Quixote, and the renegade. He freed Ana Félix by untying the cord around her hands, charged Don Antonio Moreno with receiving them well, offered his house for their entertainment, helped devise a plan for Don Gaspar Gregorio, and sent a hand-chair for Don Quixote before returning to learn who had defeated him. In Ch. 65.1, Don Gaspar Gregorio and the renegade arrived at the viceroy’s house; two days later, he and Don Antonio Moreno agreed on arrangements for Ana Félix and Ricote to remain in Spain. “The viceroy agreed to all that was proposed.”
