On February 9, 1518 the Spanish Parliament of Castile, assembled in Valladolid, swore like King to Carlos. They granted 600.000 duchies to him also. The Spanish Parliament did a series of requests to the king also, between them::
- To learn to speak Spanish.
- The appointments cessation to foreigners.
- The prohibition of going out of Castile the beautiful metals and horses.
- A more respectful dealing to his mother Juana imprisoned in Tordesillas.
    In Aragon the situation kept on being complicated. Carlos came to Saragossa on May 9. The meetings of the Spanish Parliament of Aragon began on May 20 and after long discussions, 29 of July, Carlos was sworn like King of Aragon. Juana was recognized like Queen, but for her incapability to govern, her qualifications were staying only like "face-values". 200.000 pounds were delivered to her also .
    On February 15, 1519 Carlos was entering Barcelona, summoning the Catalan Spanish Parliament on the following day. After a speech very similar to that gave in Aragon, and the corresponding deliberations, Carlos was sworn along with Juana on April 16. The question of the money that the Spanish Parliament had to contribute got longer until beginning of January, 1520, when finally they granted him 300.000 pounds
     While, the emperor Maximiliano Ith was dying on January 12, 1519. On June 28 Carlos was chosen like new Emperor of the Roman Germanic Sacred Empire in Fráncfort, and for it he decided to suspend the trip towards Valencia to go to Germany, summoning previously Castilian Spanish Parliament in Santiago de Compostela for March 20, 1520. Carlos sent Adriano de Utrecht so that across him they were swearing to him like king and he could summon Spanish Parliament in Valencia, despite the illegality, what provoked discomfort between the privileged classes; nevertheless due to the complaints between the nobiliary arm (military man) and ecclesiastic against the Germanias, the Spanish Parliament does not go so far as to be celebrated, and before the disturbances, the king sent a document on April 30, 1520 offering to keep his jurisdictions and privileges. Finally, the king fulfilled the statutory legality and before going to the General Spanish Parliament of Monsoon, summoned on June 1, 1528, went toValencia and swore his jurisdictions on May 16 of the above mentioned year.
     After this long process that lasted four years, Carlos was turning into the first monarch in showing the Crowns of Castile, Aragon and Navarre. Carlos's arrival to Castile supposed the appearance of an inexpert young man who was not knowing the customs and language of his kingdom, who placed his confidence in his Burgundian collaborators who had accompanied him from Netherlands, to whom he tried high dignities and access to revenues and wealths. This bothered to the Castilians and by this way they did to know him in the Spanish Parliament of Valladolid of 1518, which was ignored by the king. Immediately the king went to Aragon, whom bothered to the Castilians also, since there had remained enough less time; so when he knew in Barcelona that had been an elect King of Romans summoned Spanish Parliament in Santiago de Compostela to obtain subsidies and to support his expenses when he's abroad. The cities were opposed since they did not understand the preference of the interests in Germany opposite to the Castilians and needed his presence in the kingdom. Finally the service was accepted and Carlos embarked for Germany, naming as regent the cardinal Adriano de Utrecht. The discomfort was spreading over Castile, and the fire of Medina del Campo extended the focus of the companionable rebellion for all this territory. The antistately riots provoked that the nobility was supporting the emperor, and the movement was losing acceptance in the cities. Finally the proprietors, supervised by Juan de Padilla, were conquered in the battle of Villalar (Valladolid), and the return of the king realized organizational changes in the kingdom that are evident especially after the Spanish Parliament of Valladolid of 1523.
    In the territories of the Levant the movement of the Germanías took place. The craftsmen of Valencia were possessing the privilege of the reign of Fernando "The Catholic" to form a few militias in case of need for struggle against the Berber fleets. In 1519 Carlos Vth allowed the formation of these militias that were supervised by Joan Llorenç. In 1520 when a pest epidemic took place in Valencia and the noblemen left the area, the militias were done itsef with the power and disobeyed the order of Adriano de Utrecht of its immediate dissolution. In a few days the movement came to the Balearic Islands where lasted until 1523. After the defeat of the proprietors, the army finished with the conflict of the "Germanias".
    As soon as there was submitted the armed uprising of the proprietors and insured the supremacy of the real power, the Gattinara Big Chancellor proposed to Carlos Ith a Secret Council of the State that would have the supremacy on other Councils and would be the regulatory axis and supervisor of the global politics, in whom he would be himself the president. For such a target he tackled in 1522 the rationalization of the Spanish administration with the reform of the existing Councils and the creation of the Council of Treasury Department in 1523, but the king did not want to depend by one minister only, and such a project to centralize in only one Advice was rejected, by what the influence of the Big Chancellor was eclipsed opposite to Francisco de los Cobos.

     In 1524 the Council of the Indies was constituted and in 1526, the Council of the State, not as Gattinara had designed it but like a council deprived of the monarch, hence it had neither president nor fixed residence in epoch of Carlos. Other Councils were established in Valladolid, which turned in the administrative capital until 1561.
     The Councils were composed by persons chosen personally by the King (a series of not written rules ought be fulfilled at the time of choosing) that, under the presidency of the same King or of some his representative (most of the times) were discussing some topic. The King always had the last word, but it is not impossible to understand the power that they were accumulating: first, because the Council was the place where the King was touching the positions of diverse nobiliary, ecclesiastic or court features. Second, because in epochs in which the monarch was not qualified (illness, war, etc.) they were the real leaders in their action area. Third, because, in that epoch, the legislature, executive or judicial power were not definitely separated, therefore the Councils turned into a species of Courts of Appeal. Quarter, because, certain Councils had joined worldly and spiritual tasks, as what they usually had the keys of the social prestige (Council of Orders, for naming the clearest case), of important economic income (Council of Crusades) or of political key (Council of the Inquisition).
      In the Crown of Aragon the situation was chaotic. The Justice of Aragon prevented from governing the archbishop Alonso de Aragón alleging that, according to the Aragonese laws, the governor's charge could only be exercised by the heir to the throne. The Real Hearing of Aragon gave the reason to the Justice, but he sentenced that the archbishop could govern as healer of the queen Juana. But the Justice did not then allow it also, alleging that Juana was already not the heiress, since when he swore as such, it was included that if the king had a son male, this would turned himself into the heir. And, therefore, since in 1509 Fernando had had a son with Germana de Foix, the Juana oath was annulled (although the child had died at a few hours of being born). On May 13 Carlos recognized the powers of the archbishop, like healer of the queen Juana, but, nevertheless, to take her an oath was pushed back. On the other hand, the Delegation of the Kingdom of Aragon recognized Juana as a heiress of the Crown, but as for her illness she could not reign, she had to be isolated from the government so that her son was reigning. To all this it was adding that no institution of the Crown of Aragon was recognizing to Carlos the King's title until he should not swear the Jurisdictions and freedoms of the Kingdoms..
     In this order it emphasizes the important work of the secretaries. To the margin of the Chancellery, which disappeared with the Gattinara death in 1530, the king was serving with his secretaries, who of ordinary were occupying the secretariats in the Councils, since after all, the secretaries were the managers of telling to the King the deliberations of the Councils and of communicating to the members of the Council the decisions and resolutions of the King; what avoided a palsy in the government, allowing the system to work. Nevertheless, their power was going beyond this, since they turned into the true agents of the royal wish. On their transcriptions there was depending the accuracy with which the monarch was perceiving the declarations of the members of the Councils, they were accelerating or delaying the delivery of the deliberations to the Monarch, they were controlling the ordinary mail and were taking the decisions preparing the documents for the signature and were dealing with the privileged information that they had and with their capacity of access to the monarch.



    During his reign, Hernán Cortés conquered New Spain (Mexico), Francisco Pizarro conquered the Incaic Empire forming the Peru Viceroy; and Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada conquered the village of the Chibcha, in the current Colombia. The Spanish captains Sebastián de Benalcázar and Francisco de Orellana, left from Kingdom of Quito in search of the mythical The Gilding. Benalcázar founded in 1534 the city of San Francisco de Quito while Orellana, after founding Guayaquil, penetrated in the Amazon and discovered the Amazon river. Juan Sebastián Elcano gave the first round to the world (1522), finishing the trip that Fernando de Magallanes began and sitting the first bases of the Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines and the Marian lands.
