'''Tomás López Marín y González de Poveda, 1st Marquis of Cañada Hermosa''' ({{langx|es|Tomás López Marín y González de Poveda, primer Marqués de Cañada Hermosa}}) (February 26, 1650 – October 8, 1703) was a Spanish colonial administrator who served as [[Royal Governor of Chile]].
==Early life==
Tomás Marín de Poveda was born in [[Lúcar]], [[Almería Province]], the son of Tomás López Marín and María González de Poveda.<ref>{{cite book |title=Diccionario Biográfico Colonial de Chile |last=Medina |first=José Toribio |authorlink=José Toribio Medina |year=1906 |publisher=Imprenta Elzeviriana |location=Santiago, Chile |language=Spanish |page=500 |url=http://www.memoriachilena.cl/archivos2/pdfs/MC0008968.pdf}}</ref> He came to America in 1687 with his uncle, who had been named Archbishop of [[Sucre|Charcas]], in present-day [[Bolivia]]. Afterwards, in 1670, he moved to [[Chile]] for the first time with the retinue of governor [[Juan Henríquez de Villalobos|Juan Henríquez]].
He later returned to Spain, where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General and named [[Royal Governor of Chile]] on July 1, 1683. However, he was forced to wait for the term of the serving governor, [[Marcos José de Garro Senei de Artola|José del Garro]], to expire before travelling to take up his post, this meant that he could not assume until 1692.
On August 9, 1687, he was made a knight of the [[Order of Santiago]]. In 1689, he wrote a ''Funereal Prayer for [[Marie Louise d'Orléans (1662–1689)|Marie Louise of Orléans]]'' ({{langx|es|Oracion Funebre a Doña María Luisa de Orleans}}) to mark the death of the Queen.<ref>{{cite book |title=Diccionario Biográfico Colonial de Chile |last=Medina |first=José Toribio |authorlink=José Toribio Medina |year=1906 |publisher=Imprenta Elzeviriana |location=Santiago, Chile |language=Spanish |page=501 |url=http://www.memoriachilena.cl/archivos2/pdfs/MC0008968.pdf}}</ref>
==As Governor of Chile==
His administration was marked by a brief flare-up of the [[Arauco War]]. In 1694 the [[Toqui]] [[Millalpal]] and the [[Mapuche]] were incited to revolt by the unauthorized activities of Antonio Pedreros, the Commissary for Indian Affairs, against their [[Machi (shaman)|machi]]s, whom Pedreros had tried to violently isolate and relocate.<ref>{{cite book |title=Historia de Chile (1492-1717) |last=Cordoba y Figueroa |first=Pedro de |year=1862 |publisher=Imprenta del Ferrocarril |location=Santiago, Chile |language=Spanish |page=310 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PFADAAAAMAAJ}}</ref>  Pedreros died of wounds when his force tried to cross the [[Quepe River]] to attack Millalpal.
The Spanish army of the [[Captaincy General of Chile]] was then sent against Millalpal under [[Maestre de Campo]] [[Alonso de Cordova]] and the [[Sargento Mayor]] [[Alonso Cobarrubias]] was impossible for Millalpal to resist and he had to capitulate. The governor then called the [[Parliament of Choque-Choque]] with the Mapuche, realizing Pedreros had been the source of the dispute and made a peace that lasted for nearly thirty years.
Also Poveda had to deal with the expeditions of various pirates against Chilean trade, and the competition between the various functionaries of the [[Royal Audiencia of Santiago|Real Audiencia of Chile]]. During his term, he founded the cities of [[San Agustín of Talca]], [[Rengo, Chile|Rengo]] (''Villa Hermosa'') and [[Chimbarongo]].
After his tenure, he received the title ''Marquis of Cañada Hermosa''. He died in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]] a year later, in 1703.
In 2019 the title was rehabilitated by a cousin of the 1st Marquis, [[Nick Loeb]] [[:es:Condado de San Pascual Bailón|Count of San Pascual Bailón]].<ref>[[:es:Condado de San Pascual Bailón]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=May 2019}}<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.regione.puglia.it/documents/10192/37907702/Bollettino+numero+1+-+Ordinario+-+anno+2019/c612290f-7911-4c32-a6ea-59d81adab671;jsessionid=CD7ECFF1C195B74069C2422101ED735F |title=Archived copy |access-date=2019-04-23 |archive-date=2019-04-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423215655/http://www.regione.puglia.it/documents/10192/37907702/Bollettino%2Bnumero%2B1%2B-%2BOrdinario%2B-%2Banno%2B2019/c612290f-7911-4c32-a6ea-59d81adab671;jsessionid%3DCD7ECFF1C195B74069C2422101ED735F |url-status=dead }}</ref>
