King Phillip was one of a stable line of rulers by inheritance in the kingdom of Macedon, also known as Macedonia. He was a good leader and adept at planning. He in fact prepared his kingdom and his son, Alexander the Great, to enact a great expansion by warring conquest. Alexander followed in his father's footsteps and carried forward a plan at least partially prepared by his father, thus furthering the kingdom's political and economic goals.
