| Sumario: | Chapter 6 of Part III of the book "They Built Utopia: The Jesuit Missions in Paraguay 1610-1768" is presented. It relates the riots in Madrid, Spain after the Council of the Indies passed a decree by Marqués de Esquilace, secretary of Commerce and Finances, on March 4, 1766 which prohibits the long cloaks and wide-brimmed hats among lower classes. Accordingly, the people felt that the escape of the king, the royal family and the court at the depth of the night demonstrated a lack of trust in their loyalty. |
