Philip II of Spain

S. Hume Martin A.

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For three hundred years a bitter controversy has raged around the actions of Philip II. Of Spain. Until our own times no attempt even had been made to write his life-history from an impartial point Of view. He had been alternately deified and execrated, until through the mists of time and prejudice he loomed rather as the permanent embodiment Of a system than as an individual man swayed by changing circumstances and controlled by human frailties.
