  Positions And Description
Typically, the Governor ruled a Precidencia or a Captaincy-General, or some portion of it.
This position is very much like that of the Governador, except that the Adelantado ruled over areas that were may have been settled; but, it was not pacified and the area was in a state of alert and prepared for hostilities.
An Adelantado was always the governor of the area, and may have been a Captain-General.

  NPS Source Book: History of Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas
The Adelantado realized that this must be Juan Ribao, land and sea commander of the Lutherans, who was named viceroy of this land by the king of France, and presently he departed with 150 soldiers in good order, and at midnight bivouacked where he had the first time.
The Adelantado replied that it mattered nothing to him whether all, or part, or none of them surrendered; they should do whatever might be best for them, since they were free to do so.
He told the Adelantado that about 150 of the 350 men there would like to throw themselves on his mercy; but that the others had withdrawn that night, and asked that the boat be sent for those who wanted to surrender, and for their arms.

 The Adelantado of the Seven Cities - Wolfert's Roost and Miscellanies - Washington Irving, Book, etext
Even his old family mansion in Lisbon was mortgaged without scruple, for “he looked forward to a palace in one of the Seven Cities of which he was to be Adelantado.” This was the age of nautical romance, when the thoughts of all speculative dreamers were turned to the ocean.
A grand fête was to be solemnized that very night in the palace of the Alcayde or governor of the city; who, on beholding the most opportune arrival of the caravel, had despatched his grand chamberlain, in his barge of state, to conduct the future Adelantado to the ceremony.
His grave is still shown in the island of Palma, and a cross is erected on the spot where he used to sit and look out upon the sea, in hopes of the reappearance of the enchanted island.

 El Costo de las Multas Abusivas por Pago Adelantado de Hipotecas - Center for Responsible Lending
Las multas por pago adelantado son cantidades que cobra el prestamista cuando el prestatario paga el total de la hipoteca antes de la fecha prevista, lo cual se hace a menudo para refinanciar la deuda con un préstamo más conveniente.
Por lo general, la multa equivale a seis meses de interés por todo pago adelantado de más del 20 por ciento del saldo de la hipoteca.
Los encargados de formular políticas han reconocido los efectos negativos de las multas por pago adelantado de préstamos de tal manera que más de 35 estados han ido regulando su uso en las hipotecas, y por lo menos nueve estados simplemente los han prohibido.

 Witness to Empire and the Tightening of Military Control:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
What resulted was an era in which Pedro Menéndez Marqués and Gutierre de Miranda, who governed under him at Santa Elena, fulfilled their military duties to the King, but then used their authority to remove even the limited power the colony’s residents had previously enjoyed in pursuit of their own interests.
This royal assistance was formalized in 1570, when the King granted the colony an annual payment of 8,788,725 maravedíes from the treasury of Tierra Firme for the support of one hundred and fifty soldiers, as well as other expenses.
Unlike his uncle, adelantado Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Pedro Menéndez Marqués was not granted a lifetime to reap benefits from the colony’s leadership, and so he did not have the same investment in Florida’s long-term development.

When news arrived about the newfound lands and the wealth they contained, Hernán Cortés, in 1519, left Cuba with nine ships; among the members of this expedition was Francisco de Montejo and the pilot Alaminos; the latter had already been a part of the explorations conducted by Hernández de Córdoba and Juan de Grijalva.
In the summer of 1528, Montejo returned to the New Spain in the search for more men and supplies to elaborate the plan of his second attempt to conquer the territories of Yucatán (Ibid.:106).

 Witness to Empire and the Tightening of Military Control
Even though Governor Pedro Menéndez Marqués answered more directly to his King than his predecessors, in many ways the Florida power structure remained the same as during the adelantado’s day.Members of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés’s network of extended family and associates, or comuño, still ran the government.
494, Lyon observes that Menéndez Marqués did not receive his uncle’s title of adelantado in an effort by the King to assert greater control over the colony.My discussion builds on this to examine the implications of this decision for the Florida colony and the settlement of Santa Elena in particular.
