Gaspar de Guzmán y Acevedo, 1st Count-Duke of Olivares (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 of Philip IV and minister. As prime minister from 1621 to 1643, he over-exerted Spain in foreign affairs and unsuccessfully attempted domestic reform. His policies of committing Spain to recapture Holland led to his major involvement in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) and his attempts to centralise power and increase wartime taxation led to revolts in Catalonia and Portugal which brought about his fall. -wiki
