Part 1
The famous empire of King Ferdinand of England and Spain marked a turning point in European history. Queen Mary and King Philip had laid the foundations, and after the death of the former, Prince Ferdinand had ruled in England as Regent for his father, prosecuting the war in the Netherlands, and winning back Calais from France. After the death of King Philip, Ferdinand took on the governance of both kingdoms. His reign saw the acquisition of Portugal, and the climactic war with Scotland in which saw England finally established dominance over all the island of Great Britain.
By the time of Ferdinand's death in 1620, he had defeated a Stuart rebellion on the one hand, and a Portuguese one on the other, crushed French attempts to over-run the Free County, and secured control of Milan.
