«El mundo de los validos» is the historical essay edited by John H. Elliott and Laurence Brockliss, published by Taurus in hardcover (464 pages, in Spanish).
Between the 16th and 17th centuries, validos, favorites or minister-favorites alarmed European monarchies, as they seemed to assume prerogatives proper to kings. This collective work brings together international historians to analyze their rise and figures such as Buckingham, Richelieu or the Count-Duke of Olivares, as well as examining their relationship with power and the end of their era.
Collective work from the Taurus History collection, with contributions by Jonathan Brown, Antonio Feros, Marc Fumaroli and I.A.A. Thompson; translation by Jesús Alborés and Eva Rodríguez Halffter.
Work suitable for young people aged 16 and over and for adults interested in modern European history.
Sir John Huxtable Elliott was a British historian and Hispanist who was Regius Professor at the University of Oxford and honorary fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, and Trinity College, Cambridge. He published under the name J. H. Elliott.
