CHARLES I´S FAMILY TREE
Charles with his paternal family:
Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg,
Philip the Handsome and Mary of
Burgundy
Joanna the Mad with
Charles and one of his
sisters
Charles I inherited the big patrimony of the Catholic Monarch as a
consequence of a series of dramatic circumstances: the deaths of
those destined to be the heirs, like his uncle prince John of Castile and
Aragón, his infant cousin Miguel of Portugal, his father Philip I (Philip
the Handsome) and the mental instability of his mother, Joanna the
Mad.

Empire.
ADRIAN OF UTRECHT
INTERNAL PROBLEMS: REVOLTS IN CASTILE AND ARAGÓN
Charles I’s way of treating his subjects and
several latent conflicts led to the outbreak
of two important revolts:
-revolt of the Comunidades (Communities) in
Castile
-revolt of the Germanías (Brotherhoods) in
Aragón
Agermanats with Adrian of Utrecht
REVOLT OF THE GERMANIAS IN ARAGON
- It lasted from 1519 to 1521.
- It developed in Valencia and Mallorca
-Revolt of peasants and craftsmen who wanted to
have access to the government of municipalities and
an improvement in the renting conditions of land.
-The leaders of the revolt were Vicent Peris and Joan
Llorenç
-The king signed an alliance with the nobles and
together they defeated the revolted
It started in 1520 and it finished in 1521.
- Many Castilian cities revolted against the king due to
the new taxes they had to pay.
- They also protested against the foreigners who held
the most important posts in Castile and wanted these
posts for Castilian people.
- The cities asked for protection for Castilian
industry.
- In some places peasants revolted against their lords.
The Comuneros visited queen Joanna I in Tordesillas in
order to try to get her support, but Charles made an
agreement with the Castilian nobles and they defeated
the Comuneros in Villalar (23rd

Ottoman Turks, commanded by Suleiman the
Magnificent, in Vienna (1532) and stopped their
advance in Eastern Europe.

WARS AGAINST THE PROTESTANTS IN THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
Charles V at Mühlberg (1547),
painted by Titian
Diet of Worms, 1521.
Excommunication of the Lutherans
Although at the beginning Charles V tried to make an
agreement with the Lutheran princes, in 1631 he declared
war against the Schmalkaldic League (alliance of Lutheran
princes). Charles V defeated them at the Battle of Mühlberg
in 1547. But he was aware of the fact that he couldn’t impose
Catholicism in the Empire and finally the Augsburg Peace
(1555) was signed.
AUGSBURG PEACE, 1555
This agreement gave the German
princes the possibility of choosing
religión in the Holy Roman Empire:
every prince could choose the religion
he preferred, but all the inhabitants of
his state had to have the same religion
of his prince (CUIUS REGIS, EIUS
RELIGIO).
This agreement meant the end of
religion wars in the Empire, but
intolerance continued.
- GREEN: Protestant States
- DARK GREEN: Schmalkaldic League members States
- LIGHT BROWN: territories of the House of Austria
(Habsburg)
- YELLOW AND LIGHT BROWN: Catholic
States
In 1556, after so many wars, tired and ill,
Charles I decided to abdicate and divide his
heritage:
- The territories of the House of Austria and the
title of Emperor were assigned to his brother
Ferdinand.
-The rest of his heritage (including the Low
Countries) was for his first son Philip, who
ruled with the name of Philip II.
SUCCESSION
Charles I’s abdication in Brussels, 1556
Ferdinand, Charles´s
brother, inherited the
Holy Roman Empire.
Philip II inherited the
rest of the Empire
Isabella of Portugal,
Charles V’s cousin and
wife and Philip II’s
mother
After his abdication, Charles I retired to the
Monastery of Yuste, in Extremadura.
In 1557 the expenses created by so many wars
led to the first default in the Hispanic
Monarchy. The Treasury couldn’t pay the
amount of debts created after long years of
war. Philip II had to restructure the debt
In 1558 Charles V died of malaria and was
buried in Yuste, although his remains were
later moved to the Royal Pantheon of the
Monastery of El Escorial

PHILIP II (1556-1598)
Although Philip II didn
´t inherit the Holy
Roman Empire, he
was the king of a huge
Empire (“the Sun
never set in his
Empire”).
-In 1565 he annexed
the Philippines Islands
-In 1580 he added
Portugal and its
colonies in America,
Africa and Asia in
1580.
GOVERNMENT
- Capital city in Madrid
- Personal government. The king was
helped by:
- a professional bureaucracy
- several councils: Council of War,
Council of the Indies, Council of
State…
- Growth of political centralization: Castile
became the political center of the Monarchy,
the King didn´t call the Cortes and made
almost all the decisions
-Main objectives:
•Defense of catholicism
•preservation of the Empire

El Escorial, built to
commemorate the
victory in the
Battle of Saint

-Prohibition of protestantism in his kingdoms.
-Reinforcement of the Holy Inquisition
- Students couldn´t study abroad
-Prohibition of importing books
- “Blood cleanliness” in the administration

century
Revolt of the Alpujarras, 1567
Religious intolerance caused many problems:
•inside the Peninsula, repression of the Moorish of
Granada: revolt of the Alpujarras and exile of the
Moorish to other parts of the Peninsula.
•outside the Peninsula, revolt of the Low Countries
(Eighty Years’ War, 1568-1648)
REVOLT IN THE LOW COUNTRIES
The Northern Provinces of the Low Countries (Holland), revolted against taxation demands, authoritarianism of the
governors (Duke of Alba) and religious intolerance.
The revolt started in 1568 and it didn´t finish until 1648 (Independence of Holland).
Philip II gave the Low Countries to his daughter Isabel Clara Eugenia, but she didn´t have children and the Low Countries
came back to the Hispanic Empire in 1621.

This objective led to several wars against France, the Ottoman Turks and England. So many wars ruined the
economy: several bankruptcies and defaults
PRESERVATION OF THE EMPIRE
The French were defeated in
Saint Quentin in 1557, but Philip
II continued to intervene in
France: he supported the
Catholics in the religion wars in
France, between Huguenots
(Calvinists) and Catholics.

Invincible Armada
CONFLICT WITH ENGLAND
The alliance with England, which dated to
the Catholic Monarchs’ time, broke up.
Causes:
- The English supported the Protestants
in the revolt of the Low Countries.
- English privateers attacked the ships
which came from the Indies (West Indies
Fleet).
-Philip II supported Mary, the Catholic
Queen of Scotland, to
the detriment of the Anglican
Elizabeth.
Philip II decided to invade England with a big
army, called the Invincible Armada. But the
Armada sunk before reaching the English
coasts in 1588

Anna of Austria,
his nieceElisabeth of ValoisMaría Manuela

PHILIP II´S WIVES AND SUCCESSION
Philip II had four wives and twelve children, but
only three survived. His wives came from the
traditional allies from the time of the Catholic
Monarchs, except for the third one:
- In 1543 he married his cousin María Manuela
of Portugal. Their son, Prince Charles, was
mentally unstable and died in 1569.
- In 1554 he married his aunt Mary Tudor,
queen of England, eleven years older. They
didn’t have children
- In 1559 he married Elisabeth of Valois, a
French princess, as a result of the Cateau–
Cambrésis agreements. She was his most
beloved wife. They had six children, but only
two daughters survived: Isabel Clara Eugenia,
governor of the Low Countries, and Catalina
Micaela
- In 1570 he married his niece Anna of Austria,
with whom he had five children, but only one
survived: Philip III, who was Philip II’s heir.

deformed. Confined by his father,
because he conspired with the Dutch.
He died six months later-

ECONOMY IN THE 16th
CENTURY: THE PRICE REVOLUTION AND DEFAULTS
The arrival of precious metals from the
Indies provoked a huge inflation. Prices
increased a lot, because there was not
enough production to satisfy the demand.
Many products were imported from Europe
and the wealth of the Indies wasn´t used to
develop a productive economy.
The Indies were a Castilian monopoly. The
Aragonese economy couldn´t take
advantage of the Empire.
Despite the huge amount of precios
metals arrived from the Indies, the wars
were very expensive and ruined the
economy. Philip II was forced to declare
defaults in 1575 and at the end of his
reign, in 1596.
17TH
CENTURY :
THE DECLINE OF THE HISPANIC EMPIRE
PHILIP III (1598-1621) PHILIP IV (1621-1661) CHARLES II (1661-1700)
PHILIP III
Duke of Lerma
Duke of Uceda
He left the government in the hands
of two favourites, the dukes of Lerma
and Uceda.
Main facts of his reign:
- TWELVE YEARS TRUCE (1609-1621): war
stopped for a while, but the Northern
Provinces of the Low Countries became
practically independent.
- EXPULSION OF THE MOORISH (1609):
more than 300,000 people were expelled
(20% of the population of the kingdom of
Aragón and 33% of the kingdom of
Valencia). This strongly affected the Crown
of Aragón´s economy.
-DEVALUATION OF CURRENCY: gold and
silver coins were mixed with copper.
Philip III
Expulsion of the
Moorish
from Denia port
PHILIP IV
Count-Duke of Olivares
The Count-Duke of Olivares was his
main valido. His government was
characterized by authoritarianism and
centralization. His project included:
-bigger centralization
- reinforcement of the power of the
monarchy
-fairer contribution of thedifferent
parts of the Monarchy to the
expenses and the military effort. Philip IV
Reapers´ War in Catalonia
-Thirty Years War (1618-1648): although there were
some succesful actions, like Breda (1634), the tercios
were defeated at the Battle of Rocroi on 1643, which
meant the end of the Hispanic hegemony in Europe.
In the Peace of Westphalia the United Provinces of
the Low Countries became definitely independent.
-Olivares’ Project of the Union of Arms provoked
uprisings in different kingdoms in 1640:
- Catalonia, supported by France, rose up
against Philip IV. The conflict ended with the Peace
of the Pyrenees(1659): Aragon lost the territories of
Rosellón and Cerdaña.
- Portugal: the conflict ended with the
Treaty of Lisbon and the definitive independence of
Portugal (1668)
War returned in several fronts:
The Surrender of Breda, painted by Velázquez
Inbreeding in the House of Habsburg
Called the “Hexed”.
Disabled and constantly
ill.
He ruled with the help
of some validos
CHARLES III
John Joseph of Austria Fernando de Valenzuela
Although the Hispanic Monarchy
had lost its supremacy in Europe,
Charles II’s heritage was still very
important. When Charles II died
without direct descendants, a
succession war started in Europe
- DEMOGRAPHY: Population decreased due to wars, epidemics, famines , migration to the Indies and the
expulsion of the Moorish.
- ECONOMY: economic recession due to the expulsion of the Moorish (which strongly damaged
agriculture, especially in the Crown of Aragón) and less demand for products as a consequence of
demographic crisis.
- SOCIETY: nobility was the model, manual work was seen as a shame and everybody aspired to live off
rents. There were lots of beggars and rogues, like the one in El Lazarillo de Tormes
