The real cédula (Latin: Regium Diploma; English: royal certificate), also called a real despacho (English: royal dispatch), was, in Spanish law during the ancien régime, a dispatch from the king of Spain, issued by some council or superior court at the request of the king or on his behalf (that is, that is, by decision of the court), in which a favour was granted or some measure was taken. More specifically, the content of the order resolved some conflict of legal relevance, established some guideline of legal conduct, created some institution, appointed some royal position, granted a personal or collective right or ordered some specific action.
