After the Portuguese revolution of 1 December 1640, he was held in custody at Burgos, being freed in 1643 after which he was ordered to proceed to Madrid where he was promoted to commander of the Spanish forces in Catalonia, despite his age and the fact that he suffered from gout.
He led the conquest of Monzon (Montsó) in 1643 and of Lérida (Lleida) in 1644. He died that same year.
