This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VIII. Queen Mary's Consort. Mr. Froude describes King Philip as most unpopular in England, "and that he left behind him no single personal friend."

Philip was born on the 21st of May, 1527, at Valladolid. His mother was the Empress Isabel, daughter of Emanuel, King of Portugal, surnamed the Great Isabel. Isabel was an amiable and excellent princess. Under her domestic rule the royal palaces became so many schools of design for the Fine Arts. The ladies of the Court were vieing with one another in producing pictured tapestry and other work to decorate churches, not for Spain alone, but for distant countries. Philip's father, Charles the Fifth, was descended from the Ducal houses of Burgundy and Austria. Both by father and mother Philip could claim descent from Ferdinand and Isabel of Spain. By blood half a Spaniard, by temperament and character he proved wholly so. At the age of sixteen Philip was married to his cousin, Maria of Portugal.

In Chapter XII., on "Persecution of Conscience" in England, I shall refer to what part Philip took in those calamitous proceedings. In 1548, Don Philip first visited the Netherlands. He went thither to receive homage in the various provinces as their future Sov...<
