DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
All the kingdoms on the Peninsula were ruled by the same sovereign, although they maintained their own institutions and specific laws (FUEROS)
The king used the Inquisition to capture him, but an uprising in defence of the fueros' enabled Pérez to flee to France
Carlos V had left the Crown in financial ruin. Its outgoings were higher than the income it received and Felipe II had to declare the Crown bankrupt (suspend its payments) in the year he began his reign

The discovery of new silver and gold mines in the Americas and the increase in taxes enabled him to continue funding the military
The policy of imposing Catholicism and discriminating against the religious minorities caused the Moriscos in Granada to revolt in 1568
The revolt, known as the War of the Alpujarras, was finally suppressed the army led by John of Austria in 1570.
