The Monarchy through History
 


"Regnorum Hispaniae nova descriptio". 1631. Willem Blaeu.

 

The Monarchy in its different conceptions and modes, has been the prevalent form of government or the institution holding the utmost political power in Spain and its adjacent territories throughout history. Hence the political and institutional history of Spain, like that of other European countries, is, in part, the history of its Monarchy and its kings and queens.
