Felipe was much more tolerant than what people think. It's true, however, that when he started to become an old man, he became more and more pious. But he was not as intolerant as protestants wanted him to look like. And there were only two significant auto-da-fés during his reign, one in Valladolid (1557, I think) and Seville (I would need to check up the exact date!)-.

I think in newer research he is more and more seen as a quite tolerant king.
It is amusing that the first auto-da-fé was in 1557 - the second year of his reign, and even the emperor was still alive. Did Karl V (Carlos I) had any influence on it?

When John Joseph of Austria became the strongman of Spain in 1678, why didn't he go all the way and become king as well? Was it out of loyalty to his half-brother? Are there living descendants of John Joseph today?

Juan José was kind towards Charles, but it wasn't just out of loyalty that he didn't usurp the throne: it was simply impossible in those times for a bastard to inherit a Crown, let alone if it had a legitimate king reigning.

Juan José had three known illegitimate daughters who didn't have any offspring, as they all became nuns:

1. Margarita de Austria (1650- Oct. 1686), she was born to Ana Lucía de Ribera, daughter of Jusepe Ribera, Lo Spagnoletto. She eloped with don Juan José when he was in Naples acting as Governor of that country, creating much scandal. Margarita became a nun in the Descalzas Convent in Madrid in 1665. She died there.

2. Catalina Ana Isabel de Austria (1661-26/11/1709). She was born in Madrid to an unknown mother and she died as a nun in Brussels.

3. Ana María Juana Ambrosia Vicenta de Austria (1663-17/3/1705). She was born in Madrid to an unknown mother and she died as a nun in Madrigal de las Altas Torres.

I have some personal interest in in-breeding, as my maternal grandparents were first cousins and my paternal grandparents first cousins once removed (my grandfather was first cousin to my grandmother's mother, to be exact)! I'm glad to say that both my brother and I are healthy (though my brother had quite bad asthma as a child), and neither of us has any wish to marry a relation!

The Spanish Habsburgs illustrate very clearly the danger of repeated cousin marriages - I read somewhere that Carlos II was descended from Juana la Loca no fewer than 14 times! Philip II and his first wife were double first cousins, and Philip's fourth wife, Anne of Austria, was his niece.

There has been some recent published research in Britain to the effect that genetic defects are more common among those of Asian descent because of the practice of repeated cousin marriage.

The legendary 1911 edition of Encylopædia Britannica says: "Habsburg or Hapsburg". The spelling with p is outdated in English, yes, but by no means unheard of.

By the way, the Italians, who speak of La Casa d'Asburgo and gli Asburgi must be a real horror to you! Not even mentioning the Russians, with Габсбург = Gabsburg!!!

Can anyone tell me more about relation between Philip II of Spain and Countess Margarethe von Waldeck-Wildungen(1533-1554),who was an inspiration for "Snow-white"...as far as I have read,they met in Brussels and became lovers(?) ...It is also said that her stepmother Katharina von Hatzfeld hated her and that that is the reason she was sent away as a young girl to Brussels where she met Philip who fell in love with her,but Charles V wanted politically important bride...

She died in 1554 apparently of poisoning...

Anyone knows more about this story?And was there any truth behind this?
