Philip II Of Spain - His Armada Defeated By Elisabeth I Of England : Philip II was born on 21 May 1527 in the Palacio de Pimentel, Valladolid and died on 13 September 1598 in El Escorial near Madrid. He was a Spanish monarch from the Habsburg dynasty.
As the only surviving legitimate son of Charles V, Philip ruled the lands of the Spanish crown after his father's abdication, and from 1580 he also ruled the Kingdom of Portugal in personal union.
Philip II was a devout Catholic and vehemently advocated the Counter-Reformation. He saw himself called upon to enforce Catholicism in the countries he ruled and to forcefully push back the increasingly strong Protestantism through the Spanish Inquisition. This led to ongoing military conflicts with the Netherlands and England, against which he unsuccessfully sent the Armada in 1588.
Philip had the monastic palace Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial built as a representative seat of power.
After a 42-year reign, Philip II died on 13 September 1598.
