Governor Cruzat sent soldiers to occupy the churches by force. This did not solve the problem, because there were not enough secular clergy, so most of the people were without priests. The problem remained until the archbishop was transferred to headquarters in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1706. Another problem arose when the crown ordered the regularization of all land property titles. The religious orders were by far the largest landholders, but they refused to show the inspector their titles. Two bishops became involved on different sides in the dispute, one supporting the monks and the other the inspector. The argument mounted to the point where the bishops mutually excommunicated each other. It took all of Cruzat's tact to obtain a compromise and restore peaces among the prelates. Philip V of Spain, the first monarch of the House of Bourbon, inherited the crown on 1 November 1700. Fausto Cruzat was replaced as governor by Domingo Zabálburu de Echevarri in December 1701.
