]]> Giulio Alberoni was an Italian cardinal, chief advisor to King Philip V of Spain, who arrived in Spain in 1711, where he developed a political career that ended in 1719 following an expulsion order by King Philip V. In the court context, Alberoni promoted a policy of economic and social reform. His actions, framed after the War of the Spanish Succession, sought to reduce the powers of the Grandes de España, abolished internal customs within the Crown (except for Navarre and the Basque provinces), stimulated trade with America by transferring the Casa de Contratación to Cadiz.
