This is a study of the last major unknown statesman in modern European history. It challenges the assumptions historians have made about Lerma, and about Spanish history in the period. Lerma was the greatest patron of the arts in his generation. This is a work of pioneering scholarship, profound in its research, provocative and stimulating in its conclusions. It will invite a reconsideration of the whole phenomenon of government by favourites in the seventeenth century.
