		Philip's policy of building up a strong monarchy was pursued with a steadiness of aim which excluded both enthusiasm and scruple.
		It is typical of Philip's character and career that he should die thus, in an expedition undertaken against the interests of his kingdom, at the instigation of his ambitious uncle.
		His reign, which began in October 1285, is one of the most momentous in the history of medieval Europe, yet it belongs rather to the history of France and to that of the papacy than to the biography of the king.

		After Philip defeated John "Lackland" and his allies, including the Papal counter-Emperor, Otto (IV) of Brunswick, at Bouvines (1214), the English lost their possessions north of the Loire and thereafter steadily retreated in the south, until much diminished holdings were confirmed in 1259.

		Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, had, indeed, meditated an increase in the number of bishops to meet the wants of the increasing population; but, unfortunately, in the excitement of a life of pleasure had abandoned the project.
		Philip foresaw that the nobility would never approve of a measure which would so strongly augment the royal party, and take from the aristocracy the preponderance of power in the diet.
		Philip too, it would appear, preferred generously to accord to the nation a request rather than to yield at a later period to a demand, and hoped at least to merit their thanks by voluntarily conceding now what necessity would ere long extort.

		While the nobles were fuming at the pride of Granvelle, or humbly but uselessly petitioning Philip, or fighting wordy battles at the Council-board, they left it to the middle and lower classes to bear the brunt of the great war, and jeopardise their lives in the high places of the field.

		The Union of Atrecht (French: Arras) was an accord signed on January 6, 1579 in Atrecht ( Arras), under which the southern states of the Spanish Netherlands, today in Wallonia and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais (and Picardy) rÃ©gions in France, expressed their loyalty to the Spanish king Philip II and recognised the landlord, Don Juan.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Archdiocese of Cambrai
		The creation of the new metropolitan See of Malines in 1559 and of eleven other dioceses was at the request of Philip II of Spain in order to facilitate the struggle against the Reformation.
		In the Middle Ages the Diocese of Cambrai was included in that part of Lorraine which, after various vicissitudes, passed under German rule in 940, and in 941 the Emperor Otto the Great ratified all the privileges that had been accorded the Bishop of Cambrai by the Frankish kings.
		Later, in 1007, St. Henry II invested him with authority over the countship of Cambrésis; the Bishop of Cambrai was thus the overlord of the twelve "peers of Cambresis".

	The Belgian Succession
		In 1598, Philip II granted the Low Countries to his daughter the Infanta Isabel, on condition that she marry her cousin archduke Albert of Austria.
		Note that the transitory disposition deems Astrid's marriage to have received the royal consent required by article 85 (probably because, since she had no rights at the time of her marriage in 1984, no such consent was sought or granted).
		In particular, article 75 says: "on the appointed day, the public officer in the townhall and before two witnesses receives from each party successively the statement that they want to become husband and wife, he declares, in the name of the law, that they are united in marriage, and he draws up the act immediately".
