The exclusive attribution of the jurisdiction over Portuguese subjects in the Madrid Court of Philip I of Portugal and II of Castile to an alcalde de Casa y Corte showed the virtue of the extended royal domestic government, of oeconomic basis, for the lace of the kingdom of Portugal in the new gear of the Hispanic Monarchy. It also pointed out the restrictions of the Castilian nature extension, complementary mold of respect for the Portuguese, contained in the so-called statute of Tomar (1581). But it was an attribution that successive commissioners added to many others, a fact that contributed to its reduction and its conversion into a mere mechanism of estate protection since 1594
