Henry IX of England (Hapsburg's Unite)

Henry IX (October 19, 1564 - August 4, 1613) became King of England and Ireland on October 19, 1564 and was formally crowned on February 2, 1565 at the age of 9. Henry's mother was Mary I of England, and his father was Philip II of Spain. Henry was the fifth Tudor monarch to be crowned King of England and Ireland, though his Royal House was officially 'Hapsburg-Tudor' he disliked his father and so only ever claimed to be a Tudor, not a Hapsburg.

After Queen mary died Henry took the throne at the age of 9. King Philip II of Spain acted as his regent and brought England into the Italian Wars, this led to the loss of Calais, the last piece of British territory in France. Henry grew up to detest his father, after he learnt fully of what the loss of Calais meant and what Philip had said about his mother he and Philip had constant arguments.
