Detailed explanation-1: -Philip II, (born May 21, 1527, Valladolid, Spain-died September 13, 1598, El Escorial), king of the Spaniards (1556–98) and king of the Portuguese (as Philip I, 1580–98), champion of the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Born in 1527, Philip became King of Spain on the abdication of his father Charles V. He ruled over a unified Spain and all its dominions in the New World, as well as the Netherlands and Naples and Sicily.
Detailed explanation-3: -Philip II of Spain-the most powerful monarch of the early modern period-was married to Queen Mary Tudor from 1554 until her death in 1558. But Philip was not merely Mary’s King Consort. Rather he was King of England, co-ruler with Mary.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unquestionably Philip II was a loyal son of the Catholic Church. He famously told Pope Pius V in 1566 that, ‘rather than suffer the least damage to religion and the service of God, I would lose all my states and a hundred lives if I had them; for I do not propose or desire to be the ruler of heretics’.
