English term or phrase: representative intendants of the king
"The state was also divided into intendancies, run by representative intendants of the king".
Always Learning
intendente real/comissário real
Explanation:
France
Intendants were royal civil servants in France under the ancien régime. A product of the centralization policies of the French crown, intendants were appointed "commissions", and not purchasable hereditary "offices", which thus prevented the abuse of sales of royal offices and made them more tractable and subservient emissaries of the king. Intendants were generally chosen from among the maîtres des requêtes. Intendants were sent to supervise and enforce the king's will in the provinces and had jurisdiction over three areas: finances, policing, and justice.
Sous l'Ancien Régime, commissaire royal d'une circonscrption financière.

In France under the Ancien Régime
The maîtres des requêtes ordinaires de l'hôtel du Roi (by their full title) were originally, in the Middle Ages, the magistrates of the tribunal of petitions of the royal household (the "hôtel du roi"). Certain customs from this original function survived until the 18th century, such as the custom of two members of this body accompanying the king, on Sundays and festival days, on his way to and from the church and remaining near him during the mass, in order to receive petitions from the public.

intendentes, representantes do rei


Explanation:
Intendente
O intendente é uma figura da administração pública de origem francesa. Era um agente do rei durante o Antigo Regime, investido de poderes policiais e tributário.
Na América Latina o cargo de intendente foi introduzido pela dinastia dos Bourbons,existindo actualmente somente na Argentina, Chile, Paraguai e Uruguai, que são responsáveis por uma determinada zona geográfica de tamanho médio.

Na Argentina, cada cidade importante possui uma intendência, portanto, cada provincia conta com muitas intendências. No Chile, os intendentes são os funcionários aos quais compete o governo interior das treze regiões político-administrativas em que está dividido o país. Caso similar é o do Uruguai, onde os intendentes são as autoridades encarregadas de administrar cada um dos dezenove departamentos do país. No Paraguai os intendentes são as máximas autoridades encarregadas de administrar cada um dos municípios do país, semelhantes aos prefeitos brasileiros.
