En savoir plus sur le livre

The biography explores the life and influence of Francisco Gómez de Sandoval, Duke of Lerma, who served as the favorite and first minister to Philip III during a tumultuous period in Spanish history. Williams challenges existing historical narratives, highlighting Lerma's remarkable rise from poverty to wealth, his significant role as a patron of the arts, and the controversies surrounding his governance. Despite his power, Lerma grappled with his moral standing and ultimately sought redemption through a cardinalate, transitioning from a political leader to a prince of the Church.
