king of See also:Spain, son of Philip II. and his See also:fourth wife, See also:Anne, daughter of the See also:emperor See also:Maximilian II., was See also:born at See also:Madrid on the 14th of See also:April 1 578. He inherited the beliefs of his See also:father, but no See also:share of his See also:industry. The old king had sorrowfully confessed that See also:God had not given him a son capable of governing his vast dominions, and had foreseen that Philip III. would be led by his servants. This calculation was exactly fulfilled. The new king put the direction of his See also:government entirely into the hands of his favourite, the See also:duke of See also:Lerma, and when he See also:fell under the See also:influence of Lerma's son, the duke of Uceda, in 1518, he trusted himself and his states to the new favourite. The king's own See also:life was passed amid See also:court festivities, on which enormous sums of See also:money were wasted, or in the practice of childish piety. It was said that he was so virtuous as hardly to have committed a venial See also:sin. He cannot be justly blamed fol. having been born to See also:rule a despotic See also:monarchy, without even the capacity which would have qualified him to See also:manage a small See also:estate. He died at Madrid on the 31st of See also:March 1621. The See also:story told in the See also:memoirs of the See also:French See also:ambassador See also:Bassompierre, that he was killed by the See also:heat of a brasero (a See also:pan of hot See also:charcoal), because the proper See also:official to take it away was not at See also:hand, is a humorous exaggeration of the formal See also:etiquette of the court.
R. See also:Watson and W. See also:Thompson, See also:History of Philip III. (1786), give the most available See also:general See also:account of his reign; see also the continuation of See also:Mariana's History of Spain by Minana (Madrid, 1817-1822).
