los graves cargos con que la His

cialmente a Felipe ii, odioso por
la doblez de su caracter, su refi-
NADIA hipocresia y su procsder
tiranico. Sin embargo, Felipe IL
tuwo algunos defensores.
Pero con respecto a la dinas
tia de Borb6n, dejando aparte a
los antecesores y sucesores de
Fernando VII, como este por 81

toda su estirpe, nadie Sc ha SEN
