Philip III of Spain

Philip III became King of Spain in 1598, inheriting the crown from his father, Philip II. Unlike his father, the younger Philip was lazy, unintelligent, hedonistic and neither interested nor skilled in governing a kingdom. Upon his ascension to the throne, his forces (along with his sister, Isabella and brother-in-law, Albert, who were enthroned as Queen and King of England at the time) were almost immediately expelled from England by an uprising led by Robert Cecil.
