Abstract
La presencia de miembros del estamento eclesiástico ostentando cargos de representación
regia será una de las características que, durante la Edad Moderna, pueda observarse en las
distintas esferas de gobierno en la Monarquía hispánica. La carrera política estará unida en
muchas ocasiones a una carrera profesional dentro de la Iglesia, con indudables influencias desde
una u otra vertiente. Fray Antonio Enríquez de Porres o Guzmán, como aparece mencionado
en diferentes documentos, representa una figura interesante en este sentido. Alcanzó puestos
de relevancia en la orden franciscana, para ser propuesto a Predicador Real con Felipe IV, y
más tarde promovido al obispado de Málaga. Su cercanía al monarca junto al origen familiar
entroncado con familias notables castellanas, le llevaron a ser nombrado virrey de Aragón
durante la década de los cuarenta en el siglo XVII.
One of the main features of Spanish Monarchy during the Modern Age is the presence of members of the Church in government positions. A career in politics was often twinned with a career within the Church. Friar Antonio Enríquez de Porres o Guzmán is often mentioned as an example of this. He held relevant positions in the Franciscan Order, what led him to be Royal Preacher for King Phillip IV, and later Bishop of Málaga. His closeness to the monarch, together with his family links with powerful Castilian families, ensured his appointment as Viceroy of Aragón during the 1640s.
