Philip II of Spain laid a claim to the English throne primarily through his marriage to Mary I of England. When Mary died in 1558 without an heir, Philip saw an opportunity to assert his claim based on his royal lineage and marriage ties. Additionally, he aimed to strengthen Spain's political influence in Europe by uniting the two crowns. However, his claim was ultimately contested, leading to tension between Spain and the newly Protestant England under Elizabeth I.
