Philip II of Spain - Abridged Biography
Philip II of Spain Documentary
Included in the hit game Civilization VI. Philip II of Spain was King From 1540 tell his death in 1598, Between Philip’s inflexible faith and his obsessiveness and the fact he had to rule over 50 million subjects in a monarchy in constant war, it's amazing what he was able to do. As Geoffrey Parker, the Author of Imprudent King, A new life of Philip II, puts it “No one could excel as both clerk of works for the Escorial and as a world's statesman. The very skill sets that equipped Philip so superbly for the first task, allowing him to produce ‘the Eighth Wonder of the World’, Fatally compromised his ability to succeed at the second, as ruler of the first empire in history on which the sun never set.”
