1598
Today in Royal History is the 421st Death Anniversary of Philip II of Spain, the second King of Spain from the House of Habsburg. At some point of his lifetime, he was also the King of Portugal as the first monarch from the House of Habsburg and the King of England and Ireland jure uxoris upon his second marriage to his father's maternal first-cousin Mary I of England.
He died in El Escorial, near Madrid, on 13 September 1598, of cancer. He was succeeded by his 20-year-old son, Philip III from his 4th and last marriage.
