Philip IV (1605-1665), king of Spain, eldest son of Philip III and his
wife Margaret, sister of the emperor Ferdinand II, was born at Valladolid
on April8 1605.
His reign, after a few passing years of barren successes, was a long
story of political and military decay and disaster. The king has been
heldresponsible for the fall of Spain, which was, however, due in the
main to internal causes beyond the control of the most despotic ruler,
however capable he had been. Philip certainly possessed more energy, both
mental and physical,than his father. There is still in existence a
translation of Guicciardini which he wrote with his own hand in order to
qualify himself for government byacquiring a knowledge of political
history. He was a fine horseman and keenhunter.
His artistic taste was shown by his patronage of Velasquez, and his love
of letters by his favour to Lope de Vega, Calderón, and other dramatists.
He is even credited, on fairly probable testimony, with a share at least
in the composition of several comedies. His good intentions were of no
avail to his government. Coming to the throne at the age of sixteen, he
did the wisest thing he could by allowing himself to be guided by the
most capable man hecould find. His favourite, Olivares, was a far more
honest man than the dukeof Lerma, and was more fit for the place of
prime minister than any Spaniardof the time. But Philip IV had not the
strength of mind to free himself fromthe influence of Olivares when he
had grown to manhood. The amusements whichthe favourite had encouraged
became the business of the king's life.
When,in 1643, the disasters falling on the monarchy on all sides led to
the dismissal of Olivares, Philip had lost the power to devote himself to
hard work. After a brief struggle with the task of directing the
administration of the most extensive and the worst organized monarchy in
Europe, he sank back into his pleasures and was governed by other
favourites. His political opinions werethose he had inherited from his
father and grandfather. He thought it his duty to support the German
Habsburgs and the cause of the Roman Catholic Churchagainst the
Protestants, to assert his sovereignty over the Dutch United Provinces,
and to extend the dominions of his house. The utter exhaustion of his
people in the course of a hopeless struggle with the Netherlands, France
and England was seen by him with sympathy, but he considered it an
unavoidablemisfortune and not the result of his own errors, since he
could not be expected to renounce his rights or to desert the cause of
God and the Church.
Inpublic he maintained a bearing of rigid solemnity, and was seen to
laugh only three times in the course of his life. But in private he
indulged in horseplay and very coarse immorality. His court was grossly
vicious. The early death of his eldest son, Baltasar Carlos, was
unquestionably due to debauchery encouraged by the gentlemen entrusted by
the king with his education. The lesson shocked the king, but its effect
soon wore off. Philip IV died broken-hearted on September 17 1665,
expressing the hope that his surviving son, Carlos,would be more
fortunate than himself.
The best accounts of Philip IV will be found in the Estudios del reinado
de Felipe IV, by Don A. Canovas del Castillo (Madrid, 1889), and in the
introduction by Don F Silvela to his edition of the Cartas de Sor Maria
de Agreda y del rey Felipe IV (Madrid, 1885-1886).
