Wikipedia: Philip III was the King of Spain and King of Portugal and the Algarves, where he ruled as Philip II of Portugal, from 1598 until his death. Born in Madrid, the son of Philip II of Spain and his fourth wife (and niece) Anna, daughter of the Emperor Maximilian II and Maria of Spain, he married Margaret of Austria, sister of Emperor Ferdinand II, and like her husband, a member of the House of Habsburg. Although considered to be a congenial and pious ruler, Philip's political reputation has been negative - an 'undistinguished and insignificant man', a 'miserable monarch', whose 'only virtue appeared to reside in a total absence of vice', to quote three major historians of the period.
