king of See also:Spain, eldest son of Philip III. and his wife See also:Margaret, See also:sister of the See also:emperor See also:Ferdinand II., was See also:born at See also:Valladolid on the 8th of See also:April 1605. His reign, after a few passing years of barren successes, was a See also:long See also:story of See also:political and military decay and disaster. The king has been held responsible for the fall of Spain, which was, however, due in the See also:main to See also:internal causes beyond the See also:control of the most despotic ruler, however capable he had been. Philip certainly possessed more See also:energy, both See also:mental and See also:physical, than his See also:father. There is still in existence a See also:translation of See also:Guicciardini which he wrote with his own See also:hand in See also:- ORDER

order to qualify himself for See also:government by acquiring a knowledge of political See also:history. He was a See also:fine horseman and keen See also:hunter. His See also:artistic See also:taste was shown by his patronage of Velasquez, and his love of letters by his favour to Lope de See also:Vega, See also:Calderon, and other dramatists. He is even credited, on fairly probable testimony, with a See also:share at least in the See also:composition of several comedies. His See also:good intentions were of no avail to his government. Coming to the See also:throne at the See also:age of sixteen, he did the wisest thing he could by allowing himself to be guided by the most capable See also:man he could find. His favourite, See also:Olivares, was a far more honest man than the See also:duke of See also:Lerma, and was more See also:fit for the See also:place of See also:prime See also:minister than any Spaniard of the See also:- TIME (0.

time. But Philip IV. had not the strength of mind to See also:free himself from the See also:influence of Olivares when he had grown to manhood.
