Felipe el hermoso

Felipe el Hermoso, also known as Philip the Handsome, was a 15th-century ruler from the House of Habsburg. He became king of Castile through marriage to Queen Joanna and later ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. His reign was marked by political alliances, territorial expansion, and complex family dynamics that influenced European history. Despite his relatively short life, Felipe's lineage established the Habsburg dynasty's significant influence across Europe. His marriage aligned powerful royal houses, but his death also triggered conflicts over succession, shaping subsequent European politics.
