Philip II was an authoritarian tyrant asshole, trying to bring the Inquisition to the Netherlands. On his instructions, Duke Alva executed 6000 people in a year or so, huge in those days with a far smaller population, including 3 members of the Order of the Golden Fleece that his own Father Charles V personally appointed whose loyalty before the Inquisition and Slaughter was unquestionable. He's the same guy who tried to invade England with the Spanish Armada, tried to take over Navarra, and instituted the French Wars of Religion to execute the Hughenots.
