Comments

The archdukes ruled the Spanish Netherlands between 1598 and 1621 on behalf of Philip III (1598-1621). Albert, Archduke of Austria (1559-1621), was the son of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, and Isabella of Spain (1566-1633), daughter of Philip II of Spain. Isabella married Albert in 1599, and they were immediately appointed governors of the Netherlands. Automatically translated
