Years: 1540 - 1683
Honduras seems headed for relative prosperity and influence by the late 1540s, a development marked by the establishment in 1544 of the regional audiencia of Guatemala with its capital at Gracias.
The audiencia is a Spanish governmental unit encompassing both judicial and legislative functions whose president holds the additional tides of governor and captain general (hence the alternative name of Captaincy General of Guatemala).
The location of the capital was bitterly resented by the more populous centers in Guatemala and El Salvador, and in 1549 the capital of the audiencia is moved to Antigua, Guatemala.
