Charles II died #OnThisDay in 1700, prompting the War of the Spanish Succession. Carlos II was the last of the Spanish #Habsburgs because of #inbreeding based on false & classist notion of purity of blood that's been discredited by contemporary genetics... #España

The #Habsburgs married into #Tudors with #CatherineOfAragon & #Arthur #PrinceOfWales yet they died out. If the wealthiest could not continue their lines, how bad was it for lower classes? #History #Survival #Longevity
