''The Great Favourite, or the Duke of Lerma'' is a stage play written by Sir Robert Howard, a historical drama based on the life of Francisco Goméz de Sandoval y Rojas, Duke of Lerma, the favourite of King Philip III of Spain.〔David Womersley, ed., ''Restoration Drama: An Anthology'', London, Blackwell, 2000; pp. 43-72.〕 The play has often been considered Howard's best dramatic work, as well as a step in the development of the heroic drama of the Restoration era.〔J. Douglas Canfield, ''Heroes and States: On the Ideology of Restoration Tragedy'', Lexington, KY, University Press of Kentucky, 2000; pp. 78-81.〕 ==Performance and publication== The play was premiered onstage on 20 February 1668, acted by the King's Company at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Nell Gwyn played Lerma's daughter Maria. Samuel Pepys saw the play in the company of King Charles II and his court at its first performance, as he recorded in his Diary. (Pepys interpreted the play as a veiled criticism of Charles's conduct with his mistress, and wrote that he had expected the King to interrupt the performance — though this did not occur.) The play was published in a quarto edition that same year by Henry Herringman, and printed again in a folio collection of Howard's works in 1692.
