Their story

Philip I, born in Bruges in 1478, was a figure of significant European lineage. As a Habsburg, he inherited a vast network of territories and influence. He became King of Castile and León *jure uxoris* through his marriage, a union that profoundly shaped the political landscape of the Iberian Peninsula. His reign in Castile, though brief, marked a pivotal moment in the transition of power and the eventual unification of Spain. Philip's life concluded in Burgos in 1506, leaving a lasting legacy on the royal houses of Europe.
