I recall reading that the autopsy was performed something along the lines of several weeks or a couple of months after his death, although I haven't been able to find the source since.

>>2846346
Sounds like a suicide to me.

>>2846352

The would explain it. Or Charles was a literal mutant .

>>2846374
Or a zombie WOOOOH, SPOOPY

I for one find his overbite kind of cute

Say hello to Carolus Rex everybody.
Hi Carolus!

>>2846346
How the fuck was he still alive?

>>2846413
This portrait of him is probably very unrealistic.

>>2846437
The lord allowed it.

>>2846437
good point, I put forth that he might have been dead when they autopsied him

>>2846664
Now that's just silly. Conspiracy theories don't belong on /his/.

>>2846529
Ye. They probably tried to make him prettier than he actually was.

>This is your reign on incest
And to think I used to feel bad for the Habsburgs

>>2846346
Isn't one of the qualifications of being distinct species that you can no longer mate with other closely related species?
Was Charles the next step in Human evolution?

>>2847197
The next step backwards.

>>2846773
Why wouldn't you, the treacherous French cause them to inbreed

>>2846413
That would be an under-bite or cross-bite.

I dunno why he has become such a meme, but I love it.

>>2849933
Because republicans constantly post the same old memes and arguments

>>2846374
>>2846388
Or medical science and terminology was as retarded as Charles himself.

Well, the kind of incestuos madmen than were all the Spanish kings after Philip II it-s a point at they favour. But the republics in Spain didn-t work that well.

What exactly was fucking wrong with him? What are the likely medical conditions that a modern doctor would diagnose him with?

>>2846431
It was other Carolus tho

>>2850016
everything thanks to maximum inbreeding

>>2849921
Not really

>>2850016
Just read the wikipedia article. It has all, or most of the conditions with their modern names.

Oh Anon, you wish it was as tame as just cousin-fucking

> Toward the end of his life, August 1700, in one of his few independent acts as king, Charles created a Junta Magna (Great Council) to examine and investigate the Spanish Inquisition. The council's report was so damning of the Inquisition that the Inquisitor General convinced the decrepit monarch to "consign the 'terrible indictment' to the flames".
He wasn't made for this cruel world

>When the branches on your family tree start to fuse into themselves

Why did he give the throne to a B*urbon anyway? What possible reason did he have for doing it?

It's well known trait of the House of Habsburg.

>>2846529
you are technically correct, the portrait definitely looked better than he did IRL. do you think a painter would actually paint who somebody really looked? man doesn't want to hang

>>2846529
Doesn't that make you shudder? What did mewling mostrousity actually look like?

>>2854137
Like an hindu/mudskin from the discovery channel no doubt.

>>2853430
They were his closest relatives and the rightful successors to the throne of Spain by the succession laws of that kingdom.

>how you want your genetics, senpai?

>>2855056
Since when have monarchs cared about succession laws?

>>2853512
kek

>>2855276
They did. They literally invented them you dumb faggot.

>>2854137
i mean, in the days of instant freakshows at the click of a mouse he really isnt so special. i wonder how many peasants were even allowed to see this guy though. ignorant villagers tend to not take kindly to genetic monsters

>American historians Will and Ariel Durant described Charles II as "short, lame, epileptic, senile, and completely bald before 35, he was always on the verge of death, but repeatedly baffled Christendom by continuing to live."

yeah, with the Hapsburgs it was mostly uncle-on-niece action

I'm actually a Hapsburg descendant through multiple lines, but thankfully they're all illegitimate resulting from trysts outside the family for love/attraction rather than reinforcing inheritance claims

>>2855276
that was the entire reason for all the inbreeding, to consolidate as many lines of succession into single individuals, they cared to an unreasonable and debauched amount

>>2857081
How strong is your chin?

>>2857081
And how strong are your claims? I think we have to wait for a regency to press yours.

>>2857152
virtually nonexistent, the entirety of my Hapsburg lineage is through bastards who took whatever they could muster of the family fortune from richer relatives and came to America

not to mention I'm a US citizen lol, but I did used to daydream about snagging a European prince or aristocrat just to see the homelands and wear tiaras, kinda like Grace Kelly

>>2846413
Gotta remember, portraits are made to make the person look as good as possible. And that's the best they could do. And remember as well, they also hired the cream of the crop to paint royals.

>>The physician who performed his autopsy stated that his body "did not contain a single drop of blood; his heart was the size of a peppercorn; his lungs corroded; his intestines rotten and gangrenous; he had a single testicle, black as coal, and his head was full of water."
