Discover the life and legacy of one of history's most powerful rulers in this biography of Philip II. As King of Spain, Portugal, Naples, and Sicily, Philip led his empire to new heights of influence and power, earning him the title of "The Prudent." But his reign was also marked by a highly leveraged financial policy that led to state defaults and the declaration of independence by the Dutch Republic. Despite his devout Catholicism, he faced numerous military defeats against Protestant England, including the famous defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. This book is an illuminating portrait of a complex and ambitious ruler whose impact on history is still felt today.
