Answer

The reign of Philip, spanning the 16th century, brought significant changes to the inheritance landscape of European royalty.

This expansion laid the foundation for the Habsburg dynasty's subsequent dominance in European power dynamics and shaped the geopolitical landscape of the continent for generations to come.
