Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos

Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos (1744–1811) was an Asturian statesman and writer, a leading figure of the Spanish Enlightenment. Born at Gijón, he served as a judge in Seville and then in Madrid, and from 1790 to 1797 lived in virtual exile back at Gijón.

His Report on the Agrarian Law of 1795 attacked entailed and church estates and urged agricultural reform as the key to Spain's prosperity. He served as minister of justice and was imprisoned in Bellver Castle in Mallorca in 1801; freed after the French invasion of 1808, he refused to serve Joseph Bonaparte, joining the Supreme Central Junta before his death in 1811.
