Philip II did control Spain. However he was married for seven years to Mary I of England. Many English hated this. He was given the duchy of Milan by Charles V, and the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. He also had dominion over the Netherlands. With his third wife, he was given part of France. When his nephew died, he took over Portugal. (His mother was Portuguese royalty). His fourth wife was Austrian royalty. He married or was related by birth to far to many royal families. He chose not to learn any language but Spanish and this annoyed many people.
