摘要:This article analyses the process of appointment of the members of the Council of Orders advisers in the reigns of Philip III, Philip IV and Charles II. It is the king who decides upon the appointments in one of the two following ways: directly using the mechanism of royal decree, or instead making use of a brief drawn up by the Consejo de la Cámara. The article also studies the influence in these appointments of the royal favourites, the duke of Lerma and the count-duke of Olivares. Finally, it explores how in the reign of the last Habsburg king a new structure for the Council of Orders is established, althought this structure would not be respected by the monarch, who will appoint numerous supernumeraries.
