He has published numerous articles that delve into the history of the reigns of Philip II (1556–1598), Philip III (1598–1621), and Philip IV (1621–1665), and explores ideas and images of kingship in seventeenth-century Spanish drama and painting.

Feros is the author of 'Kingship and Favoritism in Spain: Philip III, 1598–1621' and has translated works such as 'El Duque de Lerma: Realeza y Privanza en la España de Felipe III'.

Feros has collaborated with notable scholars like Pedro Cardim and Fernando Bouza, co-editing 'Iberian World, 1450–1820'. He is currently developing a two-volume history of contemporary Spain, examining the impact of the Civil War and the Franco regime's institutionalization of dictatorship.
