	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.
		Olivares did not share the king's taste for art and literature, but he formed a vast collection of state papers, ancient and contemporary, which he endeavoured to protect from destruction by entailing them as an heirloom.

		In 1574, the Spanish army under Luis de Requeséns was repulsed from the Siege of Leiden after the Dutch broke the dykes, thus causing extensive flooding.

	Spanish government in crisis
		Gaspar de Guzman, Count-Duke of Olivares (1587-1645) was originally intended for a career in the church and went to Salamanca University to study Civil and Canon law.
		Olivares "…had the breadth of vision to devise plans on a grand scale for the future of a world-wide Monarchy: a statesman whose capacity for conceiving great designs was matched only by his consistent incapacity for carrying them through to a successful conclusion".
		Olivares saw the Catalan Revolt as the greater threat (because of France's involvement there) and the Spanish army was too thinly stretched to attempt to suppress both.

	Count (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		From the start the count was in military charge, not of a roving warband, but settled in a locality, a countship, his main rival for power being the bishop, whose diocese was often coterminous.
		In many Germanic and Frankish kingdoms in the early Middle Ages, the count might also be a count palatine, whose authority derived directly from the royal household, the "palace" in its original sense of the seat of power and administration.
		Count is one of the nobiliary titles granted by the Pope of Rome as temporal sovereign (of the Papal State), and is thus often known as Roman count.

	Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count-Duke of Olivares - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Don Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count of Olivares and Duke of San Lúcar (Spanish: 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.

		Similarly, it seems to be a matter of preference whether one counts as "Spanish" the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples in the 18th century, which, while dynastically and military aligned with Spain, remained a constitutionally separate state.
		The problem is compounded by the evolving definition of "Spain" itself, which, though unified by the crown, was still in some sense a collection of separate kingdoms, namely Castile, Aragon, and Navarre (and, for a while, Portugal).
		In 1717â“18 the structures for governing the Indies, the Consejo de Indias and the Casa de ContrataciÃ³n that governed investments in the cumbersome escorted fleets were transferred from Seville to CadÃz, which became the one port for all Indies trading (see flota system).
