Charles VI

Charles VI (Karl) was Holy Roman Emperor.


History

Charles was the younger son of Leopold I.

When Charles II died in 1700, the line of Spanish Habsburgs ended and Philip V inherited the Spanish crown. This represented an important loss for Habsburg prestige and an expansion of French influence. Leopold met with Churchill (as the ailing William's representative) and Heinsius; through the Treaty of the Hague of 1701, they agreed to install Charles on the throne instead. Ultimately though, the War of Spanish Succession would not be successful.
