Pedro Rodríguez, Count of Campomanes

Pedro Rodríguez de Campomanes y Pérez Sorriba, 1st Count of Campomanes (1 July 1723 – 3 February 1802), was a Spanish statesman, economist, and writer who was Minister of the Treasury in 1760. He was an adherent of the position that the state held supremacy over the Church, often called Erastianism. Campomanes was part of the government of Charles III. A staunch anti-Jesuit, one of the biggest foes of the order, Campomanes was the main driving force behind their expulsion. Provided by Wikipedia
