What he had in common was that he had six wives and was one of the most powerful and most remembered King in England.

Louis XIV and Charles II were first cousins. Charles II spent quite a bit of time in France with Louis XIV.
Only counting the legitimate line: Louis XIV's grandsons were Louis Duke of Burgundy, Philip V of Spain and Charles Duke of Berry, who were the sons of his only son Louis the Dauphin (Crown prince). Sadly, Both the Dauphin and his eldest son the Duke of Burgundy died before Louis XIV, leaving the elderly king's only heir and eventual successor to be his toddler great-grandson Louis Duke of Anjou who ascended as Louis XV when Louis XIV died in 1715. And yes, contrary to popular belief Louis XV is not the son of Louis XIV but rather his great-grandson
In 1667, Charles II struck a deal with his cousin, Louis XIV for support in the third Anglo-Dutch War. Louis agreed to also provide Charles with a $200,000 "pension". Charles agreed to support for Louis' claim to the Spanish throne and agreed to convert to Catholicism.

Depends which Philip II you mean. Philippe II of Orléans, Regent during the minority of Louis XV, was Louis XIV's brother. Philip II of Spain was the grandfather of Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV. The relationship is by blood in both cases.
