It is also known as the Treaty of Pardo or the Convention of El Pardo . Background Spanish authorities had been trying to enforce a ban on foreign ships trading with Spanish colonies in the West Indies and South America , and had arrested the crews of numerous British ships and tortured some, such as the notable case of Robert Jenkins sailor Robert Jenkins who had his ear cut off by Spanish Coast Guards. The issue provoked a surge of public opinion in Britain clamouring for a military solution. The Spanish were not in a position to fight, and were keen to avoid war. The British cabinet, dominated by Sir Robert Walpole and the Thomas Pelham Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle Duke of Newcastle also wanted to maintain peace, and so the two sides met in Pardo to discuss terms. Convention Delegates from both sides met at the El Pardo palace in Madrid from late 1738. By January 1739 they had drawn up a basic agreement. The British had initially demanded 200,000 in compensation but ultimately reduced this claim to just 95,000. Spain had initially demanded unlimited rights to search vessels, but they had eventually agreed to territorial limits. Britain was also to pay Spain 68,000 in return for not payment of proceeds from the Asiento . The signatories also agreed to further discussion of the boundaries of Province of Georgia Georgia . The chief British negotiator Sir Benjamin Keene felt Britain had got a good deal from the Convention. It was signed on January 14.

At the height of its success the company employed around thirty people, but fell victim to the 90 s video game decline, and went out of business in the early nineties. Early days Richard and Julian s first foray into the computer games business is documented on the official Llamasoft web site with The Joneses and Jeff Minter forming a partnership in 1982.
