Carter, "The Nature of Spanish Government After Philip II. [63] Despite some jealousy from the existing court painters, Velázquez rapidly became a success with Philip, being retained for the rest of his career until his death, painting a celebration of the Treaty of the Pyrenees for Philip. [40] In particular, Philip paid special devotions to a painting of the Nuestra Señora del Milagro, the Virgin of Miracles; the painting was said to miraculously raise and lower its eyes in response to prayer. [56], Crisis came in 1640. Velázquez was summoned to Madrid by the king in 1624. [68] As well as marking a strong personal religious belief, this increasingly visible link between the crown, the Church and national symbols such as the Virgin of Miracles, represented a key pillar of support for Philip as king. The junta system of government began to be dismantled in favor of the older council system. [18] Olivares rapidly became Philip's most trusted advisor, and when Philip ascended the throne in 1621, at the age of sixteen, he showed his confidence in Olivares by ordering that all papers requiring the royal signature should first be sent to the count-duke. It has been suggested that the writers of the period who best capture Philip's view of royal authority were Justus Lipsius and Giovanni Botero, who promoted religiously inspired, stoic self-sacrifice and a view of Habsburg family-led hegemony respectively. in full and "the Most Serene Philip IV, Catholic King of the Spains," for short. Some of his conclusions on naval policy were quite advanced: after the peace of 1648, Philip argued that the Dutch fleets off the Spanish peninsula were actually good for trade, despite concerns from his senior officials, since they provided protection against the English and French navies. Outwardly he maintained a bearing of rigid solemnity; foreign visitors described him as being so impassive in public he resembled a statue,[6] and he was said to have been seen to laugh only three times in the course of his entire public life. Philip responded to the perceived weakness of France during the Fronde rebellions of 1648 by continuing the fight; he took personal responsibility for the decision to start a fresh, and ultimately successful, offensive against the French in Catalonia in 1651. [70] The combination of the revolts, the French advances and the loss of his trusted favourite Olivares appears to have deeply shaken him. [4] Victorian historians even attributed the early death of Baltasar to debauchery, encouraged by the gentlemen entrusted by the king with his education. The spark of reform from Philip's earlier years never returned, however. The fruit of that union brought forth Juan José, who was brought up as a royal prince. A member of the House of Habsburg, Philip III was born in Madrid to King Philip II of Spain and his fourth wife and niece Anna, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II and Maria of Spain.Philip III later married his cousin Margaret of Austria, sister of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor.. On his return from Zaragoza, where he had been commanding the army, he found only one of the Castilian nobility arrived at court on Easter Day 1641. A year later, Philip III died of dysentery during a battle against Spain, and Philip IV became King of France, crowned January 6, 1286 at Reims. Early in his reign, Philip would be woken by Olivares in the morning to discuss the day's affairs[17] and would meet with him twice more during the day, although later this routine declined until the king would hold only one short meeting on policy with Olivares each day. His choice of his second wife, Maria Anna, also known as Mariana, Philip's niece and the daughter of Emperor Ferdinand III, was guided by politics and Philip's desire to strengthen the relationship with Habsburg Austria. 3. In 1646, de Haro was personally involved in supplying and equipping the Atlantic fleet from Cadiz. Although successful, these juntas excluded many of the traditional grandees and caused resentment.

[39] The Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, and the marriage of Philip's daughter Maria Theresa to the young King Louis XIV[40] finally brought the war with France to a conclusion. He married Margaret of Austria (1584-1611) 1599 . [12] Like many of his contemporaries, including Olivares, he had a keen interest in astrology. De Zúñiga regarded it as essential that the Sandovals be unable to gain an influence over the future king; de Zúñiga first began to develop his own influence over Prince Philip,[16] and then introduced his nephew, Olivares, to the prince, ten years old at the time. He succeeded his father, Philip III of Spain, in 1621, and, for the first 22 years of his reign, Philip’s valido, or chief minister, was the Conde-Duque de Olivares, who took the spread of the Thirty Years’ War as an opportunity not only for resuming hostilities against the Dutch at the end of the Twelve Years’ Truce of 1609 (1621) but also for an ambitious attempt to restore Spanish hegemony in Europe, in close alliance with the imperial branch of the Habsburg dynasty.

Philip Prospero had been ill for quite some time before his November 1661 death. [42] Philip is credited with a 'sensible, pragmatic approach' to provisioning and controlling it. But from 1640 onwards, a period which saw large-scale revolts across Spanish territories in protest against the rising costs of the conflict, Spain was finding it difficult to sustain the war. Philip IV (Spanish: Felipe, Portuguese: Filipe; 8 April 1605 – 17 September 1665) was King of Spain and (as Philip III) Portugal.He ascended the thrones in 1621 and reigned in Portugal until 1640.

[38] True victory over France never emerged, however, and by 1658, after the loss of Dunkirk to an Anglo-French force, Philip was personally desperate for peace. [32] Despite this shift in policy, Philip does not seem to have been particularly bellicose; early on he noted that having inherited such a large empire, war somewhere across his domains was an inevitable condition,[33] and he appeared genuinely upset when he came to power and contemplated how much the people of Castile had paid 'in blood' to support the wars of his royal predecessors.[34]. [5] The most famous of these affairs was with the actress María Inés Calderón (La Calderona),[15] with whom he had a son in 1629. [1], Philip remarried in 1649, following the deaths of both Elisabeth and his only legitimate heir. Instead, Philip turned to a better established female mystic, Sister María de Ágreda, a prioress known for her religious writings. [71] The various mystics were not acceptable to broader Spanish noble opinion and, with de Haro's encouragement, they were ultimately dismissed.[70].

[14] Philip clearly believed that Maria could intercede with God on his behalf and provide advice on what God wished him to do, to improve Spain's failing fortunes. Court theatre used perspective scenery, a new invention from Italy not used in commercial theatre at the time. Philip was idealized by his contemporaries as the model of Baroque kingship. [2] They were married on 7 October 1649. Shortly after taking power he began to increase the size of his fleets, rapidly doubling the size of the naval budget from the start of his reign, then tripling it. In practice, the plan was a disaster. This would lead Philip to renew hostilities with the Dutch in 1621 in an attempt to bring the provinces to the negotiating table with the aim of achieving a peace treaty favourable to Spanish global interests. He married Elisabeth Farnese (25 October 1692 – 11 July 1766) on 24 December 1714,they had 7 children: 1. Ferdinand VI of Spain (23 September 1713 – 10 August 1759). [64], Philip was nicknamed el Rey Planeta, the 'Planet King',[65] by his contemporaries, and much of the art and display at his court has been interpreted in the context of his need to project power and authority, over both Spaniards and foreigners alike. [18] Philip intervened far more in policies during 1641–42, however, and it has been suggested that Philip paid more attention to policymaking than has traditionally been depicted; some recent histories go so far as to describe him as 'conscientious' in policymaking,[7] although he is still criticised for his failure to make timely decisions. All of the marriages helped foster political alliances – either with other countries with whom Spain wanted peace in the interest of building more Spanish influence and power, or with closer relatives to keep the power of Spain, and the Habsburg family, strong. Some writers have likened the illusion of Baroque royal theatre to the illusion of kingly power the performances were designed to reinforce. Philip genuinely believed the success or failure of his policies represented God's favour and judgement on his actions. Given both its cost, in a time of stringent wartime savings, and the protest that ensued from a disgruntled public,[67] it is considered to have been an important part of the attempt to communicate royal grandeur and authority. siblings: Alphonse Maurice of Austria, Anne of Austria, Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria, Infante; Carlos, Margaret Frances of Austria, Maria Anna of Spain, Maria of Austria Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article.

Philip is remembered for his patronage of the arts, including such artists as Diego Velázquez, and his rule over Spain during the Thirty Years' War. [3], Perceptions of Philip's personality have altered considerably over time. When George IV, then Prince of Wales, met his first cousin and fiancé Caroline of Brunswick for the first time in 1795, he was so repulsed that he asked for a stiff drink.Caroline, for her part, complained that the fat prince didn't look anything like the handsome portraits she'd seen, according to History Answers..
