Margaret of Parma, a natural child of Charles V, served her father through two marriages in Italy where she spent much of her life. She returned to the Netherlands to serve Philip II, her half-brother, as regent during the religious and political turmoil that became the Revolt against Spain. Her efforts at compromise infuriated Philip, who replaced her with the Duke of Alba.
