Mendoza, Pedro Gonzalez de (1428–1495)

Spanish cardinal and statesman. He rose to great power under Henry IV of Castile, by whose influence he was made a cardinal, and subsequently exercised equal influence over Henry's sister Isabella (I) the Catholic. He became archbishop of Seville and Toledo in 1481 and was sometimes called the third king of Spain.
