Viceregal power is characterized by a certain amount of independence from royal control, mainly because of distance and difficult communications with the mother country.
Viceroys are notorious for applying orders with discretion, using the maxim "I obey but do not comply."
In addition, viceroys and audiencias are in conflict most of the time, with the latter not responsible to the viceroy but reporting directly to the crown.
