Presentation and family tree

And this is the family tree of the Hispanic Monarchs, starting from the Catholic Monarchs until Philip V. As you can see, endogamous relations were common, in orede to preserve alliances. There were cases of: marriages:

- between aunts and nephews, like the one between Philip II and his aunt Mary Tudor (Catherine of Aragón and Henry VIII's daughter)
- between uncles and nieces, like the one between Philip II and Anna of Austria or the one between Philip IV and Mariana of Austria.
