Charles II (Spanish: Carlos; 6 November 1661 – 1 November 1700), also known as El Hechizado or the Bewitched, was the last Habsburg ruler of the Spanish Empire.
He is now best remembered for his physical disabilities, and the war for his throne that followed his death. He died childless in 1700 with no immediate Habsburg heir.
His will named his successor as 16-year-old Philip of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV and Charles's half-sister Maria Theresa.
Disputes over the inheritance led to the War of the Spanish Succession.
