Charles II (Spanish: Carlos II) (6 November 1661 – 1 November 1700) was the last Habsburg ruler of Spain. His realm included Southern Netherlands and Spain's overseas empire, stretching from the Americas to the Spanish East Indies. Known as "the Bewitched" (Spanish: el Hechizado), he is noted for his extensive physical, intellectual, and emotional disabilities—along with his consequent ineffectual rule.

He died in 1700, childless and heirless, with all potential Habsburg   successors having predeceased him. In his will, Charles named as his   successor his 16-year old grand-nephew, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of Charles' half-sister Maria Theresa of Spain, the first wife of Louis XIV (and thus grandson of the reigning French king Louis XIV).   Because the other European powers viewed the prospective dynastic   relationship between France and Spain as disturbing the balance of power   in Europe, the War of the Spanish Succession ensued shortly after his death.
