He had a long illness (anyone know what?). It wasn't helped by an incident when a warming pan was placed in his bed. The correct nobleman whose function it was to remove the pan was unfortunately not present and by the time he arrived the king had been badly scalded!

I thought that was just a rumour to make fun of excessive court etiquette?

If you've ever worked in an office it is only too believable!

Are there any other English or German biographies about Felipe III?

What was the cause of death of Felipe IV (1605-1665), King of Spain (1621-1665) and Portugal (as Filipe III) (1621-1640)?

What a wonderful portrait! It really struck me how so many of the present day Habsburgs still look like their ancestors. HI&RH Archduke Karl looks like he could be King Felipe's son.

I have yet to find a cause of death for SM Don Felipe IV. I did however learn that he is interred at the Real Sitio de San Lorenzo El Escorial in the Panteon de los Reyes. If you or anyone else would like to see a photograph of Felipe IV's tomb, please send me your e-mail address via a PM. The file type is not supported by my image host so I cannot post it here but you can open it on your own computer with Windows picture viewer or Quicktime picture viewer.

I think Felipe II is the best looking (his mother Isabel of Portugal was quite a beauty too!).

Anna of austria, queen of France was an extrange case.
Not being a beauty. It seems she was irresistible and incredibly witting. There was two things in her reputed as unique. Her hair and her hands. In those times, hands were much more important than now. I would be glad to see them by curiosity. She conserved these hands white, with long fingers and perfectly conformed in her old years.

  For the men. Personally, as Mary Tudor once, i found Thomas Mur portrait very sexy, i mean Philippe II. Eric, WE AGREE!!  ;D ;)
