Welcome back to The Queen’s Husband with historian Dr. Linda Porter.

In this series, we uncover the lives of the powerful — and often complicated — men who married reigning queens.

In this episode, we turn to Mary I of England and her husband, Philip II of Spain. Dr. Porter debunks some of the long-standing myths surrounding their marriage and delves into Philip’s life both before and after Mary — exploring how this political union shaped two monarchs, two nations, and the course of European history.
