Wikipedia description:
Pedro de la Gasca (June 1485 – 13 November 1567) was a Spanish bishop, diplomat and the second (acting) viceroy of Peru, from 10 April 1547 to 27 January 1550. He was known by his renowned political ability in spite of his physical deformity. Francis Bacon placed Gasca among the similarly physically challenged Socrates, Agesilaus II and Şehzade Cihangir, and speculated his outstanding character and achievements may have been driven by a need to overcome the poor impression made by his physical shortcomings.
