     "Infante don CARLOS de Aragón y Navarra (Peñafiel 29 May 1421-Barcelona 23 Sep 1461). "Carlos…rey de Navarra duque de Nemoux" granted "al infante D. Cárlos", son of "el infante D. Juan de Aragon y la reina Doña Blanca", "nuestra villa y castillo de Viana…" and the title "Principe de Viana", by charter dated 20 Jan 1423[750]. Principe de Viana. Although designated heir to Navarre from birth by the Cortes, his father was already trying in 1427 to change the order of succession in favour of his youngest daughter Infanta doña Leonor. Yanguas records that Queen Blanca, under her testament dated 17 Feb 1439, appointed "su hijo el principe D. Carlos" as her universal heir, asking that he abstain from adopting the title king of Navarre after her death in favour of her husband[751]. Carlos left Navarre in 1451 for Guipúzcoa, supported by the Beaumont clan [family of Navarra-Evreux]. He was imprisoned 1453-1455. After a brief reconciliation in 1460, Carlos was incarcerated at Lérida. This crystallised opposition to the king in Aragon, where a special council was formed which secured Infante don Carlos's release 25 Feb 1461 and imposed a capitulation on the king enacted at Vilafranca del Penedès 21 Jun 1461 requiring him to recognise his older son's right to succeed. Carlos died soon after, maybe from tuberculosis, though there were rumours of poisoning.

Catalina Michaella (?) Infanta of Spain died on 6 November 1597 at Turin (Torino), Città Metropolitana di Torino, Piemonte, Italy (now), at age 30.^1,2,3,5
      ; After the birth of one daughter, the Spanish Queen, Elisabeth de Valois, gave birth to another daughter, Catalina Michaella, on 6 October 1567. Philip II was present at the birth but, disappointed at having another daughter, soon went to Aranjuez and was not present when the baby was baptised.

However, by May 1568 the young queen was again pregnant, only to become seriously ill and, on 3 October, miscarried of another girl and died herself the next day.

The two daughters he had fathered by Elisabeth de Valois were the two people Philip II loved most dearly and with whom he spent a great deal of time, playing cards and dice for money. After 1583 he began to take his meals with his daughters. While away in Portugal from 1580 until 1583, he wrote them a letter on every Monday; thirty-four of those letters have survived as Catalina took them to Turin when she married in 1585.

When she left he wrote to her: 'I was unable to say goodbye as I had wished either to you or the duke, nor could I say some of the things I was thinking about.' He wrote this after he had climbed a nearby church tower to see the last glimpse of the galley that took her away.

In 1588 he again wrote to her: 'Yesterday was the third anniversary of your embarkation. I have not seen you since then, which has given me little comfort, and I know very well that you would bring me comfort because of the love you have for me and the love I have for you.'

Philip II was stoical with the deaths of his small children but behaved differently once grown up children died. In 1597 he received the news of Catalina's death and broke down; he wept and raged, howled and shouted in a manner never seen before. At the age of sixteen Catalina had married the five-years-older Duke of Savoy and they were the parents of ten children. When she died she was only just thirty years of age.³

      ; per Leo van de Pas: "I In 1690, as his father's heir, he was elected King of the Romans. During the last years of his father's long reign, in preparation for his assumption of power, he began to build his own party of younger men, which included Prince Eugène de Savoie, who favoured a more assertive policy.

On 24 February 1699, in Vienna, he married Princess Wilhelmine Amalie of Bruncwick-Lüneburg. They became the parents of two daughters and one son, Leopold Josef, the latter died only nine-months old.

In 1705 he succeeded his father as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and installed his 'Young Party' in government. A vigorous ruler, he was determined to reassert imperial rights in Germany and Italy, which his father had neglected. This involved the imposition of the ban of the empire against the electors of Bavaria and Cologne, who had allied with France in the War of the Spanish Succession. This and other examples of his energetic imperial policy aroused growing suspicion among the German rulers. He also reasserted his rights over the German Catholic Church and this, together with his territorial ambitions in Italy, brought him into conflict with the papacy.

A lively man with a love of ceremonial and an elevated concept of his office, he died suddenly from smallpox in 1711, aged only thirty-two. He had been violent, with intelligence below the mediocre, his death was much more meaningful than his life had been, for, as Josef left only daughters, his younger brother became Emperor."⁵

     Karl VI (?) Holy Roman Emperor, King of Bohemia and Hungary was born on 1 October 1685 at Vienna, Austria.^3,1,2 He married Elizabeth Christine (?) Princess of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, daughter of Ludwig Rudolf (?) Duke of Blankenburg, of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Christine Louise (?) Princesszu Oettingen-Oettingen, on 23 April 1708 at Hietzing.^5,6,1,7,2

      ; " Karl would have been happier as the younger son he was born to be. He enjoyed the graces of life, loved music and was an assiduous and by no means ungifted composer, though less accomplished than his father, Emperor Leopold I. His features were strong and masculine with a Habsburg lip and arched nose, his complexion olive, his countenance erect, his department majestic. He also possessed the art of seeming well-pleased with everything without so much as smiling once.

Karl, alas, had none of his elder brother's qualities, though he was much nicer and more human as a man than the pompous solemnity of his outward appearance could suggest. He had dignity in adversity even if it was adversity he himself often invited. His was a sad story of a decent but mediocre ruler mistaking himself for a great statesman and war-leader, and he sustained in this course in the teeth of the advice and urgings of the most gifted councillor of the age, Prince Eugène of Savoy, by a collection of silly, vain, ignorant and frequently corrupt place-men. All were consumed with jealous hatred of Eugène and encouraged the Emperor in his own uneasy jealousy of a superior mind.

Karl had accepted that his marriage must be an affair of state and left the choosing of his bride to his father and his advisers. For a variety of reasons they chose Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick, a child of fourteen who was to grow into a beauty of extreme tenderness and charm. The two were married by proxy while Karl, in Barcelona, continued placidly an affair with the Countess Althan.

He was prepared to be kind and polite to his young bride when she should be sent to him, but in the event he was startled by her beauty and wrote to her father: 'Although on every side I had been told in advance of the exceptional beauty and remarkable qualities of my angelic queen and consort (who is winning all hearts here), now that I have seen her everything that has been said about her is but a shadow devoured by the light of the sun. I have no words to express my exceeding happiness and satisfaction. I shall be eternally grateful to you for making it possible that this angel should become my queen. I only wish she had a consort worthy of her merits; but I will do my best to be a faithful husband. The treasure that has been committed to my care shall be truly guarded.'

Being the second son, Karl was destined for the Spanish crown after the decease of the childless Carlos II. However, Carlos II and Louis XIV of France thought otherwise and the War of the Spanish Succession began. Karl was in Catalonia fighting the French when he was recalled to Vienna to become Emperor, his brother, Joseph I, having died leaving only daughters. Karl VI left his young wife in Barcelona as a pledge that he would soon be back; but he never went back and all of Spain went to the detested Bourbon King. To the end of his days, however, Karl VI behaved like a Spanish monarch, his court at Vienna distinguished by the stiff Spanish ceremonial.

The treaty of Utrecht brought Austria a coveted foothold in Italy (Naples, Milan and Sardinia---Sardinia later exchanged for Sicily---all taken from Spain) as well as the Spanish Netherlands. Spain itself would remain independent under Felipe V, a grandson of the French king Louis XIV. The loss of Spain was a traumatic experience from which he never recovered.

He was only twenty-eight, in 1713, had been married for only five years to a beautiful and highly nubile bride, and there was no reason to suppose Elisabeth Christine would not bear him a son. Still he was concerned about the continuation of his family, as well as about keeping their lands together, so he requested an acknowledgement from the Electoral Diet, known as the Pragmatic Sanction, which not only allowed a female to inherit but also gave precedence of his own (still to be born) daughters over those of his deceased elder brother. This concern for his family's continuation proved justified, only it was not to be accepted by one of his nieces, the Electress of Bavaria. This would cause a great deal of unrest for Germany in general and his daughter, Empress Maria Theresia, in particular.

No sooner had he died than signatory after signatory broke their pledged word. The sacred document might never have existed, except that it gave Maria Theresia the strength in the knowledge of having right on her side. Emperor Karl VI died suddenly at the Favorita Palace in Vienna. Only fifty-five and he was the last male Habsburg. He had come home from hunting across the Hungarian border, soaked through and chilled to the bone after a typical day in the wettest and coldest October in memory, and brought back to Vienna in a high fever. Within nine days he was dead. His legacy was a run-down empire and a sacred document, the Pragmatic Sanction."²
