TRAPAGA MONCHET, Koldo. The government of the affairs of Flanders after the fall of Count-Duke of Olivares (1643-1644): Fray Juan de San Augustin and the political project around the appointment of Don Juan as general governor. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1669-9041.

After the death of Cardinal Infant and the fall of the Count-Duke of Olivares, there were some variations about the government of Flanders's states in the court of Madrid along the years 1643 and 1644. Fray Juan de San Agustin and Count of Oñate were the two courtiers who dispatched most of the political affairs of Flanders. Around the appointment of Don Juan as governor general, they tried to mark a different form of government from the previously conducted since the end of the decade of 1620. Not all proposals were implemented. However, the Household of Don Juan is the clearest example of the new policy that was weaving. In the following decades, some of the measures that had been proposed by Fray Juan were one way or another adapted by Philip IV, with different rates depending on the situation.
