| ARTICLES RELATED TO Charles II of Spain | | | |  Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Louis XIV of France - Early yearsOn his birth at Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1638 his parents Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, who had been childless for twenty-three years, regarded him as a divine gift. (These circumstances have led some to postulate a different biological father for the boy, rather than Louis XIII. Anne of Austria, however, had denied these claims.) Louis came from a multicultural background since his paternal grandparents were Henry IV and Marie de' Medici, who were French and Italian. His maternal grandfather, Philip III was of Spanish descent and his mate ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Count of St Germain - Life St. Germain never revealed his actual background and identity, leading to many speculations about him and his origin and ancestry. Some of the more plausible include the possibility that he was the son of Francis II Rákóczi, the Prince of Transylvania (who was in exile), or that he was the illegitimate son of Marie-Ann de Neubourg, the widow of Charles II of Spain.
While he may have studied in Italy at Siena University, possibly as a protégé of Grand Duke Gian Gastone (the last of the Medici line), St. Germain's first chronicled a ...

He was born in 1683 in Versailles, the second son of the dauphin, the son of Louis XIV. He was the Duke of Anjou and probably never expected to be raised to a rank higher than that.

Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford (who was then the secretary of the treasury and not a peer) and he produced the Tory The Examiner, and Arbuthnot made their acquaintance and began to provide "hints" to them. These "hints" were ideas for essays, satirical gambits, and facts, rather than secrets of any sort. From 1711 to 1713, Arbuthnot and Swift formed "The Brothers' Club," though Arbuthnot characteristically gave away his ideas and ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Louis XIV of France - War and the Low Countries After Louis's father-in-law, Philip IV of Spain, died in 1665, his son (by his second wife) became Charles II of Spain. Louis claimed that Brabant, a Spanish territory in the Low Countries, had "devolved" to his wife, Maria Theresa, Charles II's half-sister. Louis made the legal argument that the custom of Brabant required that a child should not suffer from his or her father's remarriage. He personally participated in the battles of the subsequent War of Devolution, which broke out in 1667. Louis saw as his primary enemy not Spain (which had little interest in Brabant and other Belgian territories), ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - John Arbuthnot - Life during the Hanoverians In 1717, Arbuthnot contributed somewhat to Pope and Gay's play, Three Hours after Marriage, which ran for seven nights. He also became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Music and was a friend to Handel. He managed Handel's Italian operas in London from 1719-1729.
In 1719 he took part in a pamphlet war over the treatment of smallpox. In particular, he attacked Dr. Woodward, who had again presented a dogmatic and, Arbuthnot thought, irrational opinion. In 1723, Arbuthnot was made one of the censors of the Royal ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Louis XIV of France - Height of power During the early 1680s, Louis greatly increased his influence. French colonies abroad were growing in size. Louis was in the process of reinforcing the traditional Gallicanism, a doctrine limiting the authority of the Pope in France. Furthermore, Louis began to diminish the power of the nobility and clergy. He achieved immense control over the second estate (nobility) in France by essentially imprisoning much of the nobility in his palace at Versailles, requiring them to spend a majority of the year under his close watch instead of in their ...

Louis had not remained faithful to her: his mistresses included Louise de la Valliere, Duchesse de Vaujours, Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart, Marquise of Montespan, and Marie-Angelique, Duchesse de Fontanges. He proved, however, more faithful to his last mistress and eventual second wife, Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon. The marriage between Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon, which occurred in late 1685, was kept a secret. Madame de Maintenon, once a Protestant, had converte ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Louis XIV of France - Death Louis XIV died on September 1, 1715 of gangrene, a few days before his seventy-seventh birthday. His body lies in the Saint Denis Basilica in St Denis, a city near Paris. He had reigned for 72 years. Almost all of Louis XIV's legitimate children died during childhood. The only one to survive to adulthood, his eldest son, Louis, Dauphin de Viennois, known as "The Grand Dauphin" died in 1711, leaving three children. The eldest of those, Louis, duc de Bourgogne, died in 1712. Thus Louis XIV's five-year-old great-grandson, the son of the duc de Bourgogne, suc ...

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - House of Bourbon - The rise of Henry IV The first Bourbon king of France was Henry IV. He was born on December 13, 1553 in the Kingdom of Navarre. Antoine de Bourbon, his father, was a ninth generation descendent of King Louis IX of France. Jeanne d'Albret, his mother, was the Queen of Navarre and the niece of King Francis I of France.

| | | | | Charles II of Spain: Encyclopedia II - Louis XIV of France - The Spanish Succession The great matter of succession to the Spanish Throne dominated Europe following the Peace of Ryswick. The Spanish King Charles II, severely invalided, could not father an heir. The Spanish inheritance offered a much-sought prize — Charles II ruled not only Spain, but also Naples, Sicily, Milan, the Spanish Netherlands and a vast colonial empire — in all, twenty-two different realms.
Both France and the Holy Roman Empire vied for the Spanish Crown. Both Louis XIV and the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I had close family ties the Spanis ...
