High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Don Francisco Gómez de Sandoval y Rojas, Duke of Lerma (Seville, 1552/1553 Valladolid, 1625), the favourite of Philip III of Spain and minister, was the first of the validos ('most worthy') through whom the later Spanish Habsburg monarchs ruled. After his fall from grace in 1618 he was succeeded by Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel, Count-Duke of Olivares. The family of Sandoval was ancient and powerful. Lerma was raised at Seville, where his uncle was archbishop and his father the marquis of Denia. As long as Philip II lived, the nobles had little effective share in the government, with the exception of a few who were appointed viceroys or commanded armies abroad. The future duke of Lerma passed his time as a courtier, made himself a favourite with the young prince, and was in fact one of the incapable men who, as the dying Philip II foresaw, were likely to mislead the new sovereign. The old king s fears were fully justified after his death.
