Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal
D. Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal, 1st Count of Oeiras ((:mɐɾˈkeʃ dɨ põˈbaɫ); 13 May 1699 – 8 May 1782) was an 18th-century Portuguese statesman. He was Secretary of the State of the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves (the equivalent to a today's Prime Minister) in the government of Joseph I of Portugal from 1750 to 1777. Undoubtedly the most prominent minister in the government, he is considered today to have been the ''de facto'' head of government. Pombal is notable for his swift and competent leadership in the aftermath of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. He implemented sweeping economic policies in Portugal to regulate commercial activity and standardize quality throughout the country. Pombal was instrumental in weakening the grip of the Inquisition.〔Toby Green, ''Inquisition: The Reign of Fear'' (New York: Thomas Dunne Books, 2007), p. 328.〕 The term ''Pombaline'' is used to describe not only his tenure, but also the architectural style which formed after the great earthquake.
Pombal, who was considered an ''estrangeirado'', introduced many fundamental administrative, educational, economic, and ecclesiastical reforms justified in the name of "reason" and instrumental in advancing secularization. However, historians argue that Pombal’s "enlightenment," while far-reaching, was primarily a mechanism for enhancing autocracy at the expense of individual liberty and especially an apparatus for crushing opposition, suppressing criticism, and furthering colonial economic exploitation as well as intensifying print censorship and consolidating personal control and profit.〔Kenneth Maxwell, Pombal, ''Paradox of the Enlightenmen'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995), 83, 91–108, 160–62.〕
==Early life==
Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo ((:sɨbɐʃtiˈɐ̃w̃ ʒuˈzɛ dɨ kɐɾˈvaʎu i ˈmɛlu)) was born in Lisbon, the son of Manuel de Carvalho e Ataíde, a country squire with properties in the Leiria region, and of his wife Teresa Luísa de Mendonça e Melo. During his youth he studied at the University of Coimbra and then served briefly in the army. He then moved to Lisbon and eloped with Teresa de Mendonça e Almada (1689–1737), the niece of the Count of Arcos Sebastião. The marriage was a turbulent one, as his wife had married him against her family's wishes. The in-laws made life unbearable for the young couple; the newlyweds eventually moved to Melo's properties near Pombal.
