The enthronement of Philip III of Spain (Philip II's son and heir)
in 1598 also meant the rise to power of the duke of Lerma, the
first of a series of European favourites/prime ministers who
influenced greatly politics, government, court culture and the arts
during the seventeenth century. This 2000 book analyses the
contexts that explain the rise of Lerma, as well as discourses on
kingship and favouritism, and governmental and institutional
initiatives taken during Philip III's reign (1598-1621) - a key
historical period for our understanding of early modern Spain.
Although this book focuses on the reign of Philip III, it also
addresses broader historiographical matters. How was power
exercised in personal monarchies? What discourses were used to
justify royal power? How was kingship publicly represented? How was
favouritism conceptualized and legitimized? Was the effect of the
rise of the favourite/prime minister upon the constitution of
personal monarchies and on the political and ideological struggles?
