This dissertation examines connections between imperial centers and peripheries in the early modern world. It provides a detailed history of Portugal's Overseas Council---a powerful metropolitan tribunal that governed the Portuguese seaborne empire during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries---and shows how personal and institutional links united (and divided) the Luso-Brazilian world. In doing so, it particularly focuses on the council's individual members---lawyers and aristocrats who had often formerly served abroad as colonial magistrates and governors. Benefiting from overseas knowledge and contacts in Brazil and elsewhere, tribunal members were uniquely positioned to act as intermediaries between colony and crown, presiding over an extensive network of patronage that linked Lisbon to the furthest reaches of Mato Grosso and Macau. And yet more than just an institutional history, this work also examines the council's interaction with the margins of empire. Following the discovery of large quantities of gold in the Brazilian West, the Overseas Council struggled to govern the many frontier settlements that sprang up throughout the region. Having little or no allegiance to Lisbon, early explorers rushed deeper and deeper into the wilderness in search of mineral wealth. Ruling from afar, the Overseas Council attempted to harness the energy and vitality of these early Brazilian explorers. By examining the history of the Overseas Council in the context of colonial Brazil, this dissertation turns imperial history on end, showing how backland explorers and royal officials on the margins of empire influenced royal policies and debates in Lisbon.
