Although described as a monarch, there were constitutional constraints on Philip’s authority from the beginning. Since the Spanish Empire was made up of many realms at the time and not just one single monarchy, it is clear that he had to be one powerful, courteous and exceptional king to ultimately control the largest empire in the world, despite its diversity.

Carefully replicated from an original found inside the Royal Armoury in Madrid, this Philip II 16th Century Royal Suit of Armor has been designed with the serious collector in mind. It is both our most expensive and impressive piece of armor, exploding with detail and floral etchings from top to bottom. Made from high quality polished steel, and then 24-karat gold has been generously used for the etching and plating. It includes a premium display stand, arabesque fabric gown and a Carlos V Sword for a stunning display.
