Baltasar de Zúñiga

Baltasar de Zúñiga y Velasco (1561–1622) was a Spanish nobleman and diplomat. After surviving the 1588 Armada, he served Philip III as ambassador in Brussels, Paris and Vienna.

Back in Madrid, he joined the Duke of Uceda in bringing down the Duke of Lerma in 1618 and took charge of foreign policy. In 1619 he persuaded the king to aid the Habsburg emperor in Bohemia, taking Spain into the Thirty Years War. In 1621 he secured the rise of his nephew Olivares as Philip IV's chief minister, and died the following year.
