Abstract
The "partido español" that pretend to build its own political agenda vis-à-vis France experienced a decisive rise in 1709 and 1710, during the conversations of The Hague and Geertruidenberg. Two characters led that policy: on the one hand, the Count of Bergeyck, who advocate of negotiating with Holland and Great Britain to achieve a separate peace in exchange for commercial compensation in the Indies; on the other hand, the Duke of Medinaceli, foreign minister, until he was arrested and imprisoned in the castle of Segovia, accused by Philip V of conspiracy.
El “partido español” que pretendía forjar una agenda política propia ante Francia experimentó un auge decisivo en los años 1709 y 1710, durante las conversaciones de La Haya y Geertruidenberg. Dos personajes lideraron aquella política: por una parte, el conde de Bergeyck, partidario de negociar con Holanda y Gran Bretaña para lograr una paz separada a cambio de compensaciones comerciales en las Indias; por otra, el duque de Medinaceli, ministro de exteriores, hasta que fue detenido y encarcelado en el castillo de Segovia, acusado por Felipe V de conspiración.
