The Will of Philip II of Spain is a remarkable document signed by the seventy-year-old king in 1594, four years before his death. The manuscript includes Philip's declarations, such as his profession of faith and the duties and considerations of a ruler. It also conveys essential information and advice to his son and heir, Philip III, King of Spain, and betrays a particular interest in the future marriage of his favorite daughter, Isabel Clara Eugenia, the person mentioned most in the will after Philip III.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
