Years: 1555 - 1555
September
Henry VIII's creation of the Kingdom of Ireland in 1542 had not been recognized by Europe's Catholic powers.
Mary obtains a papal bull in 1555 confirming that she and Philip are the monarchs of Ireland, and thereby the Church accepts the personal link between the kingdoms of Ireland and England.
Philip finds his queen, who is eleven years his senior, to be physically unattractive; after fourteen months of marriage, he leaves for Spain under a false excuse.
