Philip V   (Spanish :  Felipe ; 19 December 1683 – 9 July 1746) was King of Spain from 1 November 1700 to 14 January 1724 and again from 6 September 1724 to his death in 1746. His total reign (45 years and 26 days) is the longest in the history of the  Spanish monarchy , surpassing  Philip II . Philip V instigated many important reforms in Spain, most especially the centralization of power of the monarchy and the suppression of regional privileges, via the  Nueva Planta decrees , and restructuring of the administration of the  Spanish Empire   on the  Iberian Peninsula   and its overseas regions.[1]

Philip was born into the  French royal family   (as  Philippe, Duke of Anjou ) during the reign of his grandfather  Louis XIV . He was the second son of  Louis, Grand Dauphin , and was third in line to the  French throne   after his father and his elder brother,  Louis, Duke of Burgundy . Philip was not expected to become a monarch, but his great-uncle  Charles II of Spain was childless. Philip's father had a strong claim to the Spanish throne, but since Philip's father and elder brother were expected to inherit the French throne, Charles named Philip as his  heir presumptive   in his  will . Philip succeeded in 1700 as the first Spanish monarch of the  House of Bourbon .

In 1701, the new king married his second cousin  Maria Luisa of Savoy , with whom he had four sons. Their two surviving sons were the future Spanish kings  Louis I   and  Ferdinand VI . Maria Luisa died in 1714, and Philip remarried to  Elisabeth Farnese . Philip and Elisabeth had seven children, of whom the eldest was the future  Charles III of Spain . It was well known that the union of France and Spain under one monarch would upset the  balance of power   in Europe, and that other European powers would take steps to prevent it. Philip's accession in Spain provoked the 13-year  War of the Spanish Succession , which continued until the  Treaty of Utrecht forbade any future possibility of unifying the French and Spanish crowns while confirming his accession to the throne of Spain. It also removed the  Spanish Netherlands   and  Spanish-controlled territories in Italy   from the Spanish monarchy. In 1724, Philip abdicated in favor of his son Louis. The new king died later that year, and Philip took the throne again. As a result of his depression, Queen Elisabeth held control over the Spanish government. When Philip died in 1746, he was succeeded by his son Ferdinand.

Phillip's reign has been generally criticized by historians, though some praise is occasionally offered for his reforms. Historian  Stanley G. Payne   wrote that "Felipe V was a neurotic, vacillating ruler, concerned with outward decorum and brave only in battle. He had little sense of Spanish interests and needs."
