Description
Summary:[EN] Th e death of Cardinal Julius Mazarin, Louis XIV’s prime minister, in March 1661, gave way to a new period in the relations between France and Spain. Don Luis de Haro, Philip IV’s valido, faced this situation by analysing who Mazarin’s possible successors could be, and pondering the pros and cons that each of them would mean for Spain. However, in Haro’s views, dynastic politics and the institution of the royal favourite coalesced in one single issue. Th us, the memorandum he wrote about it, one of the very few documents by his which have survived, ended up by handling the Franco-Spanish relations together with his own ideas on the favourite.
