Official in the Kingdom of Mosquitia
The Miskito Governor was a high-ranking hereditary political official within the decentralized structure of the Kingdom of Mosquitia (also known as the Mosquito Kingdom), a hereditary indigenous monarchy located along the Caribbean coast of Central America. The position of Governor typically oversaw the region of the kingdom between the Ulang River and the Awaltara River, and served as one of several regional rulers appointed or recognized by the Miskito king.[1]
Historical context[edit]The Kingdom of Mosquitia emerged during the early colonial period as a confederated indigenous polity that allied closely with the British from the 17th century onward. As British influence grew, particularly through trade and military support, the Miskito political system began to incorporate European-style titles, such as King, Governor, General, and Admiral—each corresponding to a specific geographic division and set of responsibilities.[2]
