King Philip of Spain was born in 1578 and died in 1621. He was 42 when he died. He helped lead the Spanish victories in Central and South America. He was a member of the House of Habsburg. "As the ruler of the Spanish Empire at its height and as the king who achieved a temporary peace with the Dutch (1609–1621) and brought Spain into the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) through an initially extremely successful campaign, Philip's reign remains a critical period in Spanish history." from Wikiepdia.
