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.

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.
