Details Found In Charles II Of Spain's Autopsy Report

The two-century reign of the Spanish branch of the powerful Habsburg family came to an end in the year 1700 when King Charles II died without an heir. But it's the reason he didn't have an heir that's so unusual.

What do you think of King Charles II reign?

Those portraits would have been the 1600s equivalent of photoshop and made him look significantly more attrractive than what he was. 😱

There were no cameras then so we have to depend on paintings. I know they covered up a lot of deformities in paintings and I wonder what he really looked like. It’s unfortunate that these families felt that they could only stay in power through inbreeding.

I can’t help but conclude that the arrogance of the royal attitude, in general.

He had absolutely no say in being born like this.

The pharaoh Akhenaten was similarly inbred, but with different deformities

Dude was VERY lucky. Hydrocephali alone can be fatal NOWADAYS

The Habsburgs didn't just engage in inbreeding because they believed their own hype, they wanted to guarantee they were involved in every major political position in Europe so that they could consistently get a Habsburg elected for Holy Roman Emperor. Inbreeding was a byproduct of gaming loopholes in the system.

The fact that they could not find any other nobles to marry into at any of these periods is baffling…at some point a marriage of power would have to appeal. Now I’m going down a rabbit hole about Spain lbvs

A face only an aunt/mother/cousin could love

First, and to the guy in my comments, have a nice day and happy new year

With the death of King Charles II, the Spanish Habsburg line is extinguished! Say hello to the French Bourbon dynasty and the War of the Spanish Succession. The last, longest and bloodiest of King Louis XIV's wars.
