In 1677 he was appointed See also:interim See also:viceroy of See also:Sicily, counsellor of See also:state and See also:arch-See also:bishop of Toledo. He ceased to be viceroy of Sicily in 1678. As archbishop of Toledo he exerted himself to protect the See also:clergy from the See also:obligation to pay the excises or See also:octroi duties known as ".the millions " and thereby helped to perpetuate the See also:financial embarrassments of the See also:government. His position rather than any See also:personal qualities enabled him to See also:play an important See also:part in a See also:great crisis of See also:European politics. The decrepit See also:- KING

King See also:Charles II. was childless, and the disposal of his See also:inheritance became a question of great See also:interest to the European See also:powers. Portocarrero was induced to become a supporter of the See also:French party, which desired that the See also:crown should he See also:left to one of the See also:family of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)

Louis XIV., and not to a member of the king's own family, the Habsburgs. The great authority of Portocarrero as cardinal and See also:primate of See also:Spain was used to persuade, or rather to terrify the unhappy king into making a will in favour of the See also:duke of See also:Anjou, See also:- PHILIP

Philip V. He acted as See also:regent till the new king reached Spain and hoped to be powerful under his See also:rule. But the king's French advisers were aware that Spain required a thorough financial and administrative reform. Portocarrero could not see, and indeed had not either the intelligence or the honesty to see, the See also:necessity. He was incapable, obstinate and perfectly selfish. The new rulers soon found that he 'must be removed and he was ordered to return to his See also:diocese. When in 1706 the See also:Austrian party appeared likely to gain the upper See also:hand, Portocarrero was led by spite and vexation to go over to them. When See also:fortune changed he returned to his See also:allegiance to Philip V., and as the government was unwilling to offend the See also:- CHURCH
