BIOGRAPHY

Carlos II of Spain, called "El Hechizado", was born in Madrid on November 6, 1661. He was king of Spain between 1665 and 1700.He was the son of Philip IV and Mariana of Austria.
Upon the death of his father he inherited all the possessions of the Spanish Habsburgs, including Sicily

 

- His nickname came from the attribution of his unfortunate physical state to witchcraft and diabolical influences, it is likely that successive marriages of the royal family caused the heir to suffer from Klinefelter syndrome, with symptoms such as weak musculature and infertility, that brought about a serious successory conflict, when dying without descendants and thus extinguishing the Spanish branch of the Habsburgs.

-Carlos II was proclaimed king in 1665, at three years. His bad health made him suspect that he would die young, so his education in the tasks of government was neglected.

-The King, of 18 years of age, marries in first nuptials with Maria Luisa de Orleans, niece of Luis XIV of France. Although she never truly became in love with her husband, over the years Maria Luisa came to feel a genuine affection for him. Carlos, for his part, loved his wife tenderly. Finally she died in 1689, leaving the king in a depressed state.

-After two days in a coma, preceded by a high fever, he died on November 1 of 1700. He had, after, an attack of epilepsy, which lasted 3 hours, leaving no signs of life.
