That depends on how you define it. Theoretically, his and Mary Tudor's (non-existant) children would have been legitimate heirs to the Throne. Philip himself, of course, wasn't. He tried to get around this problem by trying to marry Elisabeth I after Mary's death, but she refused... Anyway, Philip was king of England like Ferdinand of Aragon was king of Castille; through his wife. It gave him certain powers though.Quote:
