This article analyzes the conflicts that arose around the transmission ofinheritance of «non-native people» that lived and died in the domains of theSpanish sovereign (a Frenchman in Milan and a Portuguese in Manila), wholeft pious places as their heirs and executors of their will. These conflicts –that involved the Royal Fisc, powerful charitable institutions situated outsidethe Spanish Monarchy, as well as creditors and kin in European, Americanand Asian courts – will be interpreted as struggles through which the variousparties involved tried to constantly re-qualify people and things in order tolegitimize their rights. These actors, especially by exploiting the role of «ritualheir» of the departed and by asserting the charitable destination of theirbequests, actively used a broad spectrum of legal languages and resources,in an international sphere that is more properly interpretable as an arena ofplural competing and intertwined jurisdictions.
