How were people ok with being ruled be a literal retard?

It was so obvious that I was going to make a parody of it before i saw it
Cope

How could someone so mentally handicapped be a competent ruler though?

Drumpf isn't actually retarded though

Having good advisers and letting them do their job
A sizeable number of rulers fail on the second part, unlike my dear boy Charlie

>insert Trump joke

The Nobility loved it because it gave them more power. And the common folk didn't care because it didn't affect them.

>LMAO reddit spacing
Underage newfags please gtfo...

Because the man was a unbelievable Chad. A bloodline like no other. He saved time on family trees and genealogy by combining ancestors. With one hand he could start a civil war finally collapsing the Habsburg dynasty and killing the Spanish empire, with the other he would be masturbating in his garden. The man was a mountain.

Implying Veeky Forums isn't "fuck blumpf" central

If you look carefully you can see that even in their highly touched up portraits they still get progressively more deformed looking.

Did the average person even know how retarded he was?

This dude is right, he wasn't a bad king, he inherited a friking disasters of a kingdom and when he died it was in an upsing. Shame the wars after his death ravaged it again...

He was called the "hechizado", literal translation would be the "Enchanted one", the one than is under a magical effect.
We still joke about him, the lovable retard.

It's a very sad history user. Full of love, heartbreaks, the simplicity of a man than is also the king of one of the most powerful empires of his time, the knowing of his limitations and the anguish to know he isn't the man to do the job. I'm not good enough in English to do the man justice.

>Un Jueves Santo, cuando el rey ya tenía 16 años, visitando los Monumentos acompañado de su séquito, al salir de una de las iglesias y sin que nadie se percatase, dio a un pobre que mendigaba en la puerta la cruz de brillantes que llevaba al cuello. Cuando los caballeros que le acompañaban se dieron cuenta de que no llevaba la cruz, comenzaron a gritar que habían robado a Su Majestad. El mendigo, que seguía al real cortejo, entregó la joya inmediatamente asegurando que el rey se la había dado, lo cual fue confirmado por el monarca y, aunque la cruz fue devuelta al rey por pertenecer a las joyas de la Corona, para que se cumpliese el deseo de Carlos II fue tasada la joya y el valor de la misma, que se elevó a 12.000 escudos, le fue entregado al mendigo.

que? someone translate for my non-spanish sepaking ass

he he wasnt that dumb

His condition was probably kept secret from the public.

Either way he wasn't completely retarded. Sure incest fucked him up good but he was self-aware of his condition and for some time actually tried his best at doing his job,. At some point he basically gave up and played games for the rest of his life.

Back to plebbit with you.

Being the King=/=actually governing. At all.

Especially in his case.

>Took of his jewel cross when coming out from church, and gave it to a beggar. Guards realized that he had no cross, and accused the beggar of theft, but the king told the truth. The cross had to be returned because it was part of the crown jewels, but the king commanded that the beggar receive its value I'm coin
Demasiado puro para este mundo

I think it's weird that Veeky Forums has this weird spiteful confidence surrounding Charles, as if you're all getting off on denying that he was retarded. He definitely was, he was absolutely useless. Any good decision came from an advisor, there's not a single record of him making his own competent decisions. He didn't "try his best" like this schmuck says before giving up and playing games, he was severely retarded and just kind of wandered from one activity to the next. By the way, he smelled like shit because he didn't have the sense or capability to even bathe himself, so I hardly see how he somehow had this secret administrative ability that you know about but nobody else.

>By the way, he smelled like shit because
Sorry, we forgot you were one of his court dwarves.

I am not ok with it desu, please no bully, I don't know how this happened

>By the way, he smelled like shit because he didn't have the sense or capability to even bathe himself, so I hardly see how he somehow had this secret administrative ability that you know about but nobody else.
Kings didn't bathe themselves, that was the job of servants. Plus, Europe at the time had this weird phobia of baths because of the Black Death.
