| Resumo: | At the beginning of Philip V's reign, the Secretariat of State and War in the Spanish Netherlands saw its powers change and found itself at the centre of a political dispute between its head, Joseph de Arce, and the Bourbon Minister of War, the 2nd Count of Bergeyck. The intervention of the courts of Versailles and Madrid, the control of Brussels' governance by Louis XIV and his courtiers and the increasingly distant links with Spanish ministers were the consequences of this jurisdictional dispute. However, after the Battle of Ramillies (1706), the collapse of Bourbon rule over Flanders forced part of the Spanish Ministry to follow the Elector of Bavaria to Mons, initially, and then to Namur, from where the secretary, his officers and other administrators recounted their hardships and the problems which they would face as the Philip V's sovereignty of the Low Countries ended up being granted to their governor general, Maximilian II Emmanuel of Bavaria. |
