-''A uniqueness of the ''cabildo'' in Campeche, which distinguished it from the rest of the municipal governments in the peninsula, was that the ''alcalde'' of first vote was also named the lieutenant of general captain, so he oversaw everything related to the war and the defense of the town. This situation caused conflicts between the governor and the ''cabildo'' in Campeche, since the governor was often unable to impose his authority.''

 St. Francisco de Campeche is a very well established Spanish city designed with an ‘old’ look to it, suiting the aristocratic tastes of its many landowners and wealthy merchants. It is an important crossroads between the east and the lands of New Spain.

-*The fort of ''Santa Cruz'' is briefly mentioned in conjunction with the Morgan/Myng raid in 1663, but I haven't been able to find an actual location. There are two forts standing today, but both began construction long after the campaign period. So I'm just handwaving the location, putting it on the same hill as the later ''Fuerte de San Miguel,'' and assuming that was built on top of a demolished ''Santa Cruz'' site.
