 A Brief History of Renaissance Spain by Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire at Gig Harbor's Actor's Library
Charles V of the Austrian Hapsburgs ruled both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire until 1556 when he abdicated in favor of his son, Philip II, who continued to consolidate the disparate Spanish kingdoms into a centralized monarchy.
Philip unsuccessfully attempted to oust King Henry IV of France in the War of the Three Henrys, and again unsuccessfully tried to invade England in 1588 after Mary Queen of Scots was executed, and willed her claim to the English throne to Philip.
Spain was famed in this period for its vast wealth, much of it generated by the diverse and far-flung territories that it controlled, and further aided by their connection to the huge Hapsburg dynasty that controlled much of Europe in one way or another.
