Los intereses de Felipe IV hallaron por entonces un inmejorable aliado en su hermana, la cual, junto a su influyente confesor, Diego de Quiroga, ejerció un indiscutible ascendiente en la dirección de los asuntos imperiales durante los siguientes decenios. Sin embargo, la prematura defunción de la emperatriz y el consecuente regreso de Quiroga a la Península minaron seriamente las conveniencias de España y ello se dejó sentir de manera aguda en el desenlace de los tratados de Westfalia. A ello se añadió una abrupta reducción de los medios para costear una larga lista de pensionados y colaboradores de la Corona española. Con un partido debilitado y sin liderazgo, el embajador español, dentro de su renovado protagonismo, fomentará el ascenso de una nueva figura como garante de los intereses de Madrid: el conde de Auersperg, un poderoso ministro que pasaría a ocupar una posición preeminente en el gobierno de Fernando III. No obstante, Madrid arriesgó mucho al centrar su apoyo en un candidato demasiado ambicioso y rodeado de enemigos, ya que la ruptura en 1656 entre Auersperg y el embajador católico comportó un serio riesgo para la posición española en un momento extremamente delicado para la supervivencia de la Monarquía Hispánica.Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
