Charles II (6 November 1661, Madrid – 1 November 1700, Madrid) was the last Habsburg King of Spain and the ruler of nearly all of Italy (except Piedmont, the Papal States, The Republic of Lucca and the Republic of Venice), the Spanish territories in the Southern Low Countries, and Spain's overseas Empire, stretching from Mexico to the Philippines. He is noted for his extensive physical, intellectual, and emotional problems – along with the consequent ineffectual rule – as well as his role in the developments preceding the War of Spanish Succession.
