Oaxaca City

To counter this, the village petitioned the Crown for elevation to city status, which would grant it certain rights, privileges, and exceptions. It would also ensure that the settlement remained under the king's direct control, rather than Cortés's. This petition was granted in 1532 by Charles V of Spain.
