Sumario:This work aims to reconstruct the lifetime of Pedro Mercado de Penalosa, oidor of the Audience of Lima, between 1553 and 1562. We will explore the social, economic, and political relationships that made him one of the most wealthy and powerful oidor in the nascent Peruvian Viceroyalty. His insightful ties, along with his kinship ties, positioned him among the outstanding elite of Lima. The study of his personal life and  relationships will allow us to better understand how the post of oidor in Spanish America was used to establish new lineages, commercial interests, promote patrimonial enhancement and social advancement.
