Abstract
This paper examines the importance of the Treaty of Madrid in the formation of the western border of Brazil, especially in the region of the Captaincy of Mato Grosso, in the 18th century. It also presents an analysis of the importance of social dynamics in the region of Mato Grosso in that century, with emphasis on the interrelations between Portuguese and indigenous societies (Guaicurus and Paiaguás), to legitimize the Portuguese Crown.
