The encomienda system was established by the Spanish Crown during the early 16th century, primarily under King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. It was implemented as a means to reward Spanish colonists for their service and to facilitate the colonization of the Americas. Through this system, Spanish settlers were granted the right to extract labor and tribute from Indigenous people in specific areas, ostensibly in exchange for protection and the Christianization of the native populations.
