Context: this guy Charles II the Bewitched ruled Spain for **35** years despite being perhaps the sickest individual to ever walk the Earth, and *he* of all people was trying to be a “beggar when choosing” regarding exactly how his realm would get divvied up? Lol this poor soul needs to get called out for his part in causing the War of Spanish Succession.
Read that autopsy report though, and you can certainly not blame the guy.
Habsburg Jaw was the least of his problems.

If we are fair, Spain ended poorer after the Habsburg dynasty than it was before the 1500s
