00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:38,210
Philip I married Juana the Mad, the daughter of the Catholic kings, who became the Queen of Castilla on the death of her mother, Isabel the Catholic.

7
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:46,159
However, Philip was not content with being the Queen's consort, and he claimed his wife was deranged.

8
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:56,539
Thanks to the support of a large part of the Castilian nobility, he was named king, but only for a few months between April and September 1506.

9
00:00:59,009 --> 00:01:06,950
Philip I, who was a fan of ball games, drank iced water which gave him a fever and which subsequently led to his death.

10
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:17,370
Charles I was the eldest son of Philip I and Juana the Mad, and he inherited a great empire on the death of his father.

11
00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:32,549
Holland, Luxembourg, Artois and the French Comte were joined by Aragon, Navarre, Castilla, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia and the already conquered territories in America.

12
00:01:32,549 --> 00:01:45,980
In 1519, on the death of his paternal grandfather Maximiliano I, he obtained the Austrian territories of the Habsburgs and was named Emperor of Germany.

13
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:51,920
For this reason he is known as Charles I of Spain and V of Germany

14
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,420
His arrival in Spain, a country whose language and customs were not familiar to him

15
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:04,060
Caused the Commune Wars, led by Padilla, Bravo and Maldonado

16
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:07,140
Who were defeated at the Battle of Villalar

17
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:13,419
Two years before his death he abdicated in favour of his son Philip II

18
00:02:13,419 --> 00:02:17,479
and retired to the Monastery of Giusti in Extremadura.

19
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,039
There he received his natural son John, who would become known as Don Juan of Austria,

20
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,800
a great soldier and diplomat during the reign of his step-brother Philip II.

21
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:38,569
Philip II, nicknamed the Prudent, established the court in Madrid,

22
00:02:39,129 --> 00:02:43,849
specifically in the Escorial, from where he governed all his dominions.

23
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:47,990
Being the son of Charles I and Isabel of Portugal,

24
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:52,509
not only did he receive the territories inherited from his father,

25
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:56,789
but he also received the crown of Portugal and all its colonies.

26
00:02:58,349 --> 00:03:02,409
During his reign, Spain became the most powerful country in the world

27
00:03:02,409 --> 00:03:03,870
and the saying,

28
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:07,789
the sun never sets on the Spanish Empire, was invented.

29
00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:12,169
Philip II was a great defender of Christianity.

30
00:03:12,169 --> 00:03:18,270
He had two important military victories, but also an important defeat.

31
00:03:19,409 --> 00:03:24,530
At the Battle of Saint-Quentin, in the north of France, he beat the French.

32
00:03:25,389 --> 00:03:32,210
To celebrate his victory, which occurred on the 10th of August 1557, the day of San Lorenzo,

33
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:36,650
he ordered a monastery to be built for the saint in El Escorial.

34
00:03:36,969 --> 00:03:44,169
At the naval battle of Lepanto, which took place off the Greek coast,

35
00:03:44,169 --> 00:03:47,530
Philip II led the so-called Holy League

36
00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:50,610
which defeated the Ottoman Empire of the Turks.

37
00:03:51,789 --> 00:03:54,930
His big failure was the confrontation with England

38
00:03:54,930 --> 00:03:57,530
for maritime control of all the world

39
00:03:57,530 --> 00:04:01,150
which resulted in the defeat of the invincible armada

40
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:03,469
off the coasts of Scotland and Ireland

41
00:04:03,469 --> 00:04:07,090
due partly to the adverse weather conditions.

42
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:11,150
After this, Philip's plan to invade England

43
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:14,229
and dethroned Elizabeth I was abandoned.

44
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,879
Philip III succeeded his father and was known as the Pious

45
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,819
and was the son of his father's fourth wife, Anna of Austria.

46
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,139
Philip III was not interested in affairs of state

47
00:04:30,139 --> 00:04:33,439
and relinquished the power to a series of worthies,

48
00:04:33,939 --> 00:04:36,699
the first and most famous being the Duke of Larimer.

49
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:42,240
The most relevant event in his reign was the expulsion of the Moors,

50
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,699
moriscos who were muslims who had been forced to convert to christianity during the reign of the

51
00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:56,279
catholic kings their integration into spanish society had been very difficult and in 1609

52
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:02,279
philip the third expelled them from spain for religious and national security reasons

53
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:10,689
philip the fourth succeeded philip the third and was known as the planet king when he came to the

54
00:05:10,689 --> 00:05:18,069
throne at the age of only 16. Like his father, he handed over the power to a worthy, the

55
00:05:18,069 --> 00:05:24,730
Count-Duke of Olivares, who tried to maintain Spanish hegemony in Europe by fighting the

56
00:05:24,730 --> 00:05:31,930
Thirty Year War. Philip IV was a patron of the arts, promoting artistic, literary and

57
00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:38,350
theatrical endeavour. His reign coincided with the so-called Golden Age of Culture in

58
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:45,589
Spain, with figures like the painter Velázquez, the dramatist Lope de Vega, or the poet Quevedo.

59
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:54,829
The successor of Philip IV was his son Charles II, known as the Bewitched, due to his sickly

60
00:05:54,829 --> 00:06:03,230
weak constitution and his lack of mental capacity. His reign was characterized by an economic crisis

61
00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:05,209
inherited from his father's reign

62
00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:08,649
by the wars against the France of Louis XIV.

63
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,870
Despite being married twice,

64
00:06:12,449 --> 00:06:14,449
Charles II had no descendants,

65
00:06:15,329 --> 00:06:17,709
leading to the Spanish War of Succession,

66
00:06:18,250 --> 00:06:20,230
which was an international conflict

67
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:22,750
that lasted from 1701

68
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:27,490
until the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

69
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:34,040
In 1700, he named his successor as Philip of Anjou.

70
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:41,399
grandson of louis the 14th who ascended to the throne of spain with the name philip the fourth

71
