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.
