Settler-administrator friction helped trigger the Second Granadan revolt.
Evidence
We will see in the 1560s how the jealousies and distrust between the military old guard and the new administrators did much to create the conditions which led to the Second Granadan revolt getting so rapidly out of hand, and how then the Royal Council was to adopt the most hawkish of all policy options: eviction from Granada. In 1530, however, between these two extremes, it was the relaxed approach of the settler aristocracy in Granada that prevailed. Guevara never did manage to enforce his ban on henna, and the practice was still an issue a generation later. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 528
