The Spanish rulers, among other things, restored the old ''écu Philippe'' and its fractions and struck them to the end of the reign. In 1580, king Philip added Portugal to his domain, so that shield was added to the arms. The Eighty Years War was still in progress but most of the action in 1589 was in France, where Philip II ordered the duke of Parma to invade to disrupt the accession of Henry IV.
