Philip and Nobility:
Philip was an intelligent , committed ruler who surrounded himself with qualified administrations and soldiers. Philip was good at making the people think that they had power but really they didn't. Nobles were part of the Council Of State that was formed to advise the king. But again, the group had no real power. Nobles held titles such as viceroys and admirals which gave no real power only prestige in spain. Philip thought he was all that and he thought he could control everything and everybody. The nobles of Costile were well ruled by Philip.
Philip and religion:
King Philip II was a very religious man. Because he was such a believer he spent lots of money to defend the catholic religion. Thus, giving him the title "The defender of the religion". Even though he looked at the pope as the religious leader and the head of the catholic church, if what they said went against what he thought was right, he would not comply. He believed since he was the protector of the faith he only had two things to do in life: One, fight in the churches honor and defense and two, make sure it had spiritual growth. He believed that the only way to stop the amount of heretics was by force.
The pope and Philip in some cases did not get along. When an archbishop named Carranza of Toledo, also known as the primate of Spain, was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition, Pope Pius V wanted to take him to court in Rome for his crimes. Philip II disagreed with him. He believed that it was a matter that should have been dealt with in Spain, not one that had to be settled in a Roman Papal court. In revenge, the pope refused to prolong the Cruzada.

Philip and Government
Philip II believed in the system of divine right. He believed that he was hand picked by God to be king. He used the power he had to defend all of his wrong doings. When he wanted help he hand picked assistants to help him. One person was the dukes of Alva who failed Philip because of Philip's high expectations. Philip eventually went with the idea from the prince of Eboli. Eboli thought that government needed to be free and that the states should have their own laws and beliefs. Philip didn't believe in this style, but he needed an answer to so he went with a idea that him thought was right to handle the situation in the Netherlands.
Phillip II allowed the nobles to believe the they had a say in what happened in the nations government, but in actuality they really didn't. He put very few people in the place to look over his kingdoms. The people he did picked had to be educated, and the power he gave them was basically nothing. Philip believed that people needed to be picked for what they could do and not by what power they had.

Government spending:
There were many taxes in the spanish empire. But many of them fell hard on the poor people. One tax was the basic Castilian tax called the Alabala. The Alabala was a tax of 10% on all goods in the kingdoms. Many cities did not pay the tax so there was an inflation. Most of the money from the taxes didn't even go to the monarch. Nobles were the ones who recieved it. When Philip did get the money from taxes he spent alot of it on wars to fight for catholicism.

Philip and Peasantry:
The highest was the monarch – the ruler. Monarchs were usually a king or queen.
The second rank was the noble. Nobles were wealthy and were members of court and parliament usually.
Third was the merchant. Merchants sold, bought, and traded items in the kingdom.
Fourth were the serfs. Serfs practiced agriculture for a living and did labor in the fields, but were paid.
Military Achievements:
King Philip II had a lot of conflicts while he was in control of Spain, including the Dutch Rebellion and the Spanish Armada. The Mediterranean was threatened many times by the Ottoman Empire so Phillip put together a Christian navy to try and stop them. Later the Christian navy was defeated at the battle of Djerba. Soon enough, at a battle led by Philip's half-brother got rid of the threats from the Ottoman Empire. Later on, the Christian navy also had a victory at the Siege
