•After the Revolt of The Comuneros young Carlos learnt the lesson! He became Spanish, a good Spanish king
The government of this vast empire was so difficult!
• His empire was made up of many different territories, with their own laws and institutions.
• Carlos V did not have absolute power.• The court was
itinerant.• Each territory had
a viceroy or governor.• Castile financed
his very expensive
foreign policy.

4. War against England. The Invincible Armada, a disaster!

All these wars were so expensive that they ruined the economy, and Felipe II
was forced to declare bankruptcy (bancarrota) several times:

declared insolvent three times.
