Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count-Duke of Olivares
Don Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count of Olivares and Duke of San Lúcar (es: Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, conde-duque de Olivares, also known as Conde de Olivares y duque de Sanlúcar la Mayor) (January 6, 1587 - July 22, 1645), was a Spanish royal favourite and minister.
During the life of King Philip III he was appointed to a post in the household of the heir apparent, Philip, by the interest of his maternal uncle Don Baltasar de Zúñiga, who was the head of the prince's establishment.

 Gaspar De Guzman Olivares - LoveToKnow 1911
GASPAR DE GUZMAN OLIVARES, count of Olivares and duke of San Lucar (1587-1645), Spanish royal favourite and minister, was born in Rome, where his father was Spanish ambassador, on the 6th of January 1587.
Olivares could now boast to his uncle Don Baltasar de Zuniga that he was "all." He became what is known in Spain as a valido - something more than a prime minister, the favourite and alter ego of the king.
The Nicandro was denounced to the Inquisition, and it is not impossible that Olivares might have ended in the prisons of the Holy Office, or on the scaffold, if he had not died on the 22nd of July 1645.

 Guillén de Castro y Bellvis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At one time a captain of the coastguard, at another the protégé of Benavente, viceroy of Naples, who appointed him governor of Scigliano, patronized by Pedro Téllez-Girón, 3rd Duke of Osuna and Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count-Duke of Olivares, Castro was nominated a knight of the order of Santiago in 1623.
He probably made the acquaintance of Lope de Vega at the festivals (1620-1622) held to commemorate the beatification and canonization of St Isidore, the patron saint of Madrid.
Lope de Vega dedicated to him a celebrated play entitled Las Almenas de Toro (1619), and when Castro's Comedias were published in 1618-1621 he dedicated the first volume to Lope de Vega's daughter.

At the Spanish Court, the most characteristic spectacles were the so-called comedias de tramoyas ("transformation plays" or "machine plays".) Combining elements of ballet, masque, pageant and grand opera, their chief attractions were astonishing scenic effects that took place as if by magic before the eyes of the spectactors.
In the stile recitativo, as Ambassador Averardo de’ Medici terms it, the characters told their stories, expressed their emotions and interacted with each other in continuous monody (that is to say, with a single dominant ongoing voice line) in the manner that later came to characterize modern lyric opera.

In 1627 the ruinous expenses of Spain's involvement in the Thirty Years War forced the government to declare itself bankrupt; the war effort continued, however, and the Mantuan campaign (1628-1631) led to an open conflict with France, which became intensified in 1635.
The union of Cromwell's England with France in the war against Spain proved to be the coup de grace.
