Resumo: | The article analyses the changes in the land grants legislation that occurred during the reign of D. Pedro II in Portugal (1683-1706) and their consequences. From 1690 on attempts were made to control land grants, and several royal charters were sanctioned in order to rule the gaps left by the Ordinances, concerning the size of the land grants, the necessity of demarcation and of royal confirmation, but above all to impose the payment of a tax in the “capitanias” (administrative divisions) of the North of Brazil, thus altering the legal status of the grants. In our analysis, besides a collection of royal rules, we have examined documents such as judges’ reports, petitions and queries made to and by the Overseas Council. The crossing of such sources allowed us to testify this attempt of the authorities to increase their control over the land legislation. |

O artigo analisa as transformações ocorridas na legislação sesmarial no reinado de D. Pedro II em Portugal (1683-1706) e as consequências dessas mudanças. A partir de 1690 houve tentativas de controle sobre as sesmarias, e várias ordens régias foram outorgadas para regular lacunas deixadas pelas Ordenações, referentes ao tamanho das sesmarias, à necessidade de demarcação e confirmação régia, mas principalmente para instituir o pagamento de um foro nas Capitanias do Norte do Estado do Brasil, modificando o estatuto jurídico da doação sesmarial. Além das ordens régias, analisamos relatórios de desembargadores, petições de moradores e consultas ao Conselho Ultramarino. Esse cruzamento de fontes nos permitiu perceber na prática essa tentativa de um maior controle das autoridades sobre a legislação sesmarial.
