In 1792 Manuel Godoy became the first Secretary of the Office, replacing the Count of Aranda, Pedro Pablo Abarca de Bolea y Ximenez de Urrea. Linked to Enlightenment despotism, he was associated with educational and political reformism. During his career, he played a leading role in the struggle against France in the Convention War, with England as an ally, which ended with the Peace of Basel (1795) in which Spain made concessions to France in order to obtain its return.

The signing of the Peace of Basel put an end to the conflict between the Spanish monarchy, under the crown of Charles IV, and the French Republic. Through this treaty, Spain recovered its territorial integrity in the face of France’s abandonment, having to cede the Spanish part of the island of Santo Domingo as well as some commercial advantages hitherto in the hands of the Spanish Monarchy. A year later, this confrontation changed completely with the signing of the Pact of San Ildefonso, in which Spain and France allied against England.

He was an emblem of royalism and enlightened despostism, typical of Bourbon reformism. Goya portrayed him on several occasions.
