Ambiguous and full of excesses, the Count of Villamediana Juan de Tassis y Peralta (1582-1622) was one of the most brilliant Spanish poets of the 17th century.
Raised among palace rooms, he was aggressive, cheeky and a womanizer and soon acquired a reputation as a libertine, keen on luxury, precious stones, bets and horses. He led a disorderly life as a gambler, becoming a fearsome adversary because of his great intelligence, and his many love affairs, combined with ruthless and spicy satires, made him an unwanted character at the court, leading him into more than an exile.
