In British schools, Philip II of Spain (Felipe II) is not taught as a King of England, even though he held that title as co-monarch with Queen Mary. Why is this?
Is it something to do with the educational curriculum, or do historians not regard him as a "true" King of England?

Why did Charles II of Spain bequeath the empire to Philip of Anjou?
I don't know why I remembered this little detail of history, but "he was convinced" is the best answer I've heard online and a lot of content on the Internet about the War of the Spanish Succession makes note of the fact that Charles gave Philip the crown in his will, possibly because he thought he was best-suited to keep the Spanish Empire together. What I don't understand is why he felt that the Habsburgs could not accomplish this, despite being a Habsburb himself? Can it all just be boiled down to severe inbreeding leaving his brain addled or was there a real reason? Was there any relation between the Spanish Habsburgs and the Bourbon family at this time?
It seems so strange to me that Spain would not have the Bourbon rulers it has today if not for Charles II. I wonder what the long-term implications would have been for Spain's American holdings and the longevity of the Holy Roman Empire once Charles V ascended to the throne as both Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain.
