Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Gut. XV, 230 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - The Spanish Armada conjures up images of age-old rivalries, bravery and treachery. However the same Spanish monarch who sent the Armada to invade England in 1588 was, just a few years previously, the King of England and husband of Mary Tudor. This important book sheds new light on Philip II of Spain, Englands forgotten sovereign. Previous accounts of Mary's brief reign have focused on the martyrdom of Protestant dissenters, the loss of English territory, as well as Mary's infamous personality, with the result that her husband Philip has remained in the shadows. In this book, Harry Kelsey uncovers Philip's life - from his childhood and education in Spain, to his marriage to Mary and the political manoeuvrings involved in the marriage contract, to the tumultuous aftermath of Marys death which ultimately led to hostile relations between Queen Elizabeth and Philip, culminating in the Armada. Focusing especially on the period of Philip's marriage to Mary, Kelsey shows that Philip was, in fact, an active King of England and took a keen interest in the rule of his wife's kingdom. Casting fresh light on both Mary and Philip, as well as European history more generally, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the Tudor era. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations and Maps Abbreviations Preface Introduction Chapter 1 A Spanish Prince and an English Princess Chapter 2 Training a Prince to Rule an Empire Chapter 3 Training a Princess to be a Wife Chapter 4 The Grand Tour Chapter 5 Mary the Queen Chapter 6 The Reluctant Bridegroom Chapter 7 The Marriage of England and Spain Chapter 8 Philip of Spain, King of England Chapter 9 Expecting an Heir Chapter 10 Leaving a Kingdom, Gaining an Empire Chapter 11 War and Death Chapter 12 King of Spain Notes Bibliography Index.
