Notes
This is a compendium of peace treaties covering the reign of Philip IV of Spain including parts IV,V,VI and VII. These compendiums were issued in series, each one corresponding to the reign of the named monarch. Philip IV (1621 - 1665) was King of Spain, Sovereign of the Spanish Netherlands and King of Portugal until 1640. The King was famous for his patronage of Diego de Velazquez and the Golden Ages' dramatists Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca. Philip IV relied upon Olivares, known as 'el conde duque', his powerful favourite and prime minister, to manage his foreign policy. Popular opinion blames Olivares for the decline in power of the Spanish Empire.
