CARLOS II DE ESPAÑA (EL HECHIZADO) | EL FIN DE LOS AUSTRIAS

Was Charles II truly a victim of witchcraft, or simply the product of centuries of inbreeding? In this video, we explore the fascinating and melancholic life of the last Habsburg monarch in Spain. Known as "The Bewitched," his reign was marked by the decline of an empire and the intrigues of a court already seeking a successor before his death. We analyze his difficult childhood, his health problems, his two marriages, and the enigma of his will, which would forever change the course of European history. Join me on this journey through the light and shadow of the king who brought an era to a close in Spain. 0:00 Introduction: The Man Behind the Black Legend 0:51 The Birth of Charles and the Burden of Inbreeding 3:29 A Protected Childhood: Education and Health Problems 5:23 The Regency of Mariana of Austria and the Power Struggles 6:49 Coming of Age and the Rise of Don Juan José of Austria 10:57 The First Marriage: Maria Luisa of Orléans 13:22 Economic Reforms and the Decline of the Empire 14:56 The "Pious King" and Public Image 16:23 The Government of Oropesa and New Reforms 17:47 The Death of Maria Luisa and the Search for an Heir 18:46 Second Marriage: Mariana of Neuburg and Austrian Ambition 21:48 The King's Character and the Fall of Oropesa 23:57 The Succession Crisis: The Will of the Queen Mother 25:56 The Enigma of the Spells and the Inquisition Trial 30:15 The Final Decision: Philip of Anjou and the Will of Charles II 32:03 Death of Charles II: The End of a Dynasty 34:32 Consequences: The Outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession 36:22 Final Reflection: Victim or Culprit of His Lineage?
