6/13/2023 0 Comments King charles 2 of spain![]() ![]() His story will be recounted with illustrations from paintings of him during his reign. He is an example of great achievement in an extremely important role by a person with learning difficulties in history. His reign was largely a time of peace and of reversal of the previous economic decline of Spain. However, he was well loved by his people and he achieved a lot during his reign, including commissioning art for the royal palaces and promoting a more scientific approach to medicine. His illnesses and lack of ability to have children led to him being called ‘Carlos the Bewitched’. He married twice but did not have any children, a situation that led to the War of Spanish Succession on his death. He was supported by his mother to undertake the duties of his role. He had various physical impairments, including difficulty in eating. He never learned to write more than a few words. In contrast, in the 17th century Charles II of Spain was helped to rule that country for 35 years despite quite a severe degree of learning difficulty. In the 20th century, the British Royal Family hid away some of its members who had disabilities. ![]() Portrayals of Disability: Clips used in the launchĬharles II of Spain (1665-1700) Paul Williams writes.2015: Portrayal of Disability: Then and Now.2021: Relationships Sex / Hidden Impairments.2015: Potrayal of Disability: Then and Now.2019: Leadership, Resistance and Culture.2022: Disability, Health and Well Being.\ - Margaret HABSBURG von OESTERREICH (1584 - 1611) \ - Maria Anna von BAYERN
