This refers to the Spanish conquest of Nayarit in Mexico:
"Nuño de Guzmán llamó a las tierras que había dominado “Conquista del Espíritu Santo de la Mayor de España” y fundó su capital Tepic."
Any idea how this is usually translated or whether it is usually translated?
Thanks!

: yes, it seems that "Greater Spain" means that the place was regarded by its conqueror as part of Spain. It seems the name is not "Mayor de España" as in the context, but "Mayor España" as in your reference, as this is confirmed by Wikipedia.
