After Charles Martel countered the Moorish invasion from Spain (732 - Poitiers), the famous king Charlemagne (born close to Liège in Herstal or Jupille) brought a huge part of Europe under his rule and was crowned as the "Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire" by the pope (800) in Aachen.
The Holy Roman Empire was unified with Spain under the Habsburg Dynasty after Charles V inherited several domains.
For them, the war lasted until 1648 (the Peace of Westphalia), when Spain recognized the independence of the Netherlands, but held onto the loyal and Catholic region of modern-day Belgium which was all that remained of the Spanish Netherlands.

 Biography – Pope Urban VIII – The Papal Library
France was on the watch; she also negotiated with James I, and, in spite of the promises that had been made to Spain, it was agreed between the English and French cabinets that Prince Charles, son of the English should, espouse Henrietta Maria of France, daughter of Henry IV and sister of Louis XIII.
It was to be feared that the infanta, when in London, would be persecuted with such ardent persuasions as would detach her from the Catholic religion.
In the continual struggles between France and Spain, it seemed that the latter must have the advantage, as it was governed by a king thirty–eight years old, who had been on the throne for more than twenty years.

On her betrothal to Albert, archduke of Austria, she received as dowry joint sovereignty with Albert of the Low Countries, with the stipulation that, if they had no children, the throne would revert to the Spanish crown.
Because the seven northern provinces (the United Provinces) of the Low Countries were effectively independent, Isabella and Albert, on their marriage (April 1599), had control over only the 10 southern provinces of the Netherlands.
After Albert's death (1621), sovereignty of the Spanish Netherlands reverted to Spain, and Isabella ruled as governor of the country for her nephew, King Philip IV of Spain, until her death.

Although the Spanish envoys proposed to marry the Infanta to the young Charles of Guise, nephew of the Duke of Mayenne, the Estates General refused to consider such a proposition.
The Dutch received aid from France in their long struggle for political independence from Spain, and Philip III became involved in the plots of the brave but avaricious Maréchal de Biron, a duke, peer, and marshal of France,whose conspiracies threatened the security of Henry's throne.
