Philip II was King of the ancient kingdom state of Macedonia and Alexander the great's father.
His name is made up of two greek words, ''Philos''=(Friend) + ''Ippos'' =(Horse), so his name would translate into English as:''Friend of Horses''.
Macedonia was one of the ancient Greek city-states, like Athens, Sparta, Molossoe (Epirus) etc.
As a Greek, he was married to a Greek princess, Olympia of Molossoe, from another Greek city-state, west of the Greek city-state of Macedonia.
Charles V and Philip II both sought to ensure absolute power and strengthen Catholicism, but they approached these goals differently. Charles V focused on maintaining a vast, diverse empire and managing its various religious conflicts through a combination of military and diplomatic means. In contrast, Philip II, inheriting a more centralized Spain, pursued a more aggressive and uncompromising approach to Catholicism, exemplified by his support for the Inquisition and military campaigns against Protestantism. While both monarchs aimed for religious unity, Philip's methods were often more authoritarian and directly confrontational.
