Hey Brother make me Holy Roman Emperor

Wrong Habsburg put Karl V and Ferdinand there and it'll be funny

> The king (Charles the II) lived for quite a long time and, together with his men, managed to keep intact the empire against the French power of Louis XIV, achieved one of the greatest deflations in history, increasing purchasing power in their kingdoms, increased the revenue and started the end of hunger and the beginning of peace
How could a single man be so fucking based?

cause it was not him ruling but his smart advisors

Perhaps we should respect tards

I hate this meme
Any king you don't like but who does good shit; just say it was his advisors
same thing with a king you like who does bad shit

but Charles II was literally a retard and was ignored by his court

he was literally retarded, in the medical sense
how do you expect retard to rule a country?
would you put someone with sever down's syndrome as POTUS?

>bullying someone who is slightly more mentally challenged and physically deformed than the average pleb
baka

>state a fact
>it's now considered bullying

lefty pol pls go and stay go

>Charles was physically and mentally disabled and infertile, possibly due to this massive inbreeding. Due to the deaths of his half brothers, he was the last member of the male Spanish Habsburg line.[5]

>Charles did not learn to speak until the age of four nor to walk until eight,[6] and was treated as virtually an infant until he was ten years old. His jaw was so badly deformed (an extreme example of the so-called Habsburg jaw) that he could barely speak or chew. Fearing the frail child would be overtaxed, his caretakers did not force Charles to attend school. The indolence of the young Charles was indulged to such an extent that at times he was not expected to be clean.

>lefty pol
>some edgelords who roleplay as commissars and go on about 'le gulags'

>me
>individual with a scrap of emotional intelligence who wishes to celebrate the achievements of those who are less fortunate

can't see the similarities

>he was literally retarded
>was literally a retard
Not true. He wasn't a genius but he was smart enough to choose burocrats and people specialized in the matter above the nobility which was the norm back then.He also chose to focus on the economy which was a smart move. He was probably smarter and with a bigger compromise to his job than most kings. A pity that people still hate on poor Charlie when he would be called the great if he would have inherited a better situation

>leftypol
>supporting a monarch


okay

Also Charles II was objectively the best King of Spain ever

>Also Charles II was objectively the best King of Spain ever
Amongst the Habsburgs he pretty much was. He was so good that Louis XIV and Phillip the V got impressed about how much money Spain was able to raise during the Spanish succession war

Where did this forced pig meme come from?

>the best king of Spain was autistic

Crazy how that works

>the best king of Spain was autistic
Autism is a common trait in Spanish leaders

No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?

No he was retarded and a complete figurehead that signed papers in the dotted line when and where he was told to.

The meme that the King governs needs to go. The last Spanish Habsburg to actually apply himself to matter of Governance like a bureaucrat in chief was Phillip II. Phillip III and Phillip IV were into hunting, feasting and fucking, designating a 'Valido' (sort of PM) to do the actual governance within a pretty fucking intrinquite, cumbersome and multi-counciliar system of government.

The difference is that they would actually designate the Valido of their own sovereign will (while being aware and taking account the opinion, influences, interests, rivalries and etc of the legion of courtiers, nobility, bureaucrats and etc that constituted the effective establishment ruling the Empire), whereas with Charles II the establishment had to run on auto-mode, because well, the guy is a retard, forcing compromise and agreement among the different sectors of the establishment that otherwise would have aimed at obtaining the personal favour of the King to reach the top position of power within the establishment.

If he didn't choose who would rule why did he choose some literal who nobles instead of the more important ones?

>No he was retarded and a complete figurehead that signed papers in the dotted line when and where he was told to. (not true by the way)

Because he didn't choose.

>he didn't choose.
But he did.After his half brother died he was pretty much in charge of selecting his validos.He chose some very poor nobles that had lots of education which wasn't a common thing during that period of time
