The Resilience of the Spanish Monarchy 1665-1700 by Christopher Storrs (English)
Not surprisingly, these demands added to the political tensions in a reign in which the succession problem already generated difficulties. The burden of empire was stilllargely carried in Spain by Castile (assisted by the silver of the Indies), but Spain's ability to hang onto empire was also helped by a greater integration of centre and periphery, and by the contributionof the non-Castilian territories, notably Aragon in Spain and Naples in Spanish Italy.This book radically revises our understanding of the last decades of Habsburg Spain.
