    Supra-libros = arms of Philip V of Spain (Philip of France, Duke of Anjou)
    Philip V was the first Bourbon king of Spain, reigning from 1700 to 1724 and again from 1724 until his death in 1746. His reign, the longest in Spanish history, was marked by the War of the Spanish Succession, initiated by his ascension, which resulted in Spain losing territories in Europe. He was a grandson of Louis XIV of France and, though he had periods of mental instability, he and his second wife, Elizabeth Farnese, were influential figures in Spanish and European politics. In 1724 he had abdicated in favour of his son, but the latter died months later and Philip re-ascended the throne.
