= Charles VI = '''Charles VI''' (''Karl'') was [[WorldHistory/HolyRomanEmpire|Holy Roman Emperor]]. <> ---- == History == Charles was the younger son of [[Austria/LeopoldI|Leopold I]]. When '''Charles II''' died in 1700, the line of [[Spain/Monarchs#Habsurg|Spanish Habsburgs]] ended and [[Spain/PhilipV|Philip V]] inherited the [[Spain/Monarchs#Catholic_Monarchy|Spanish crown]]. This represented an important loss for Habsburg prestige and an expansion of [[France/LouisXIV|French]] influence. Leopold met with [[UnitedKingdom/JohnChurchill|Churchill]] (as the ailing [[UnitedKingdom/WilliamIII|William's]] representative) and [[Netherlands/AnthonieHeinsius|Heinsius]]; through the '''Treaty of the Hague''' of 1701, they agreed to install Charles on the throne instead. Ultimately though, the [[WorldHistory/WarOfSpanishSuccession|War of Spanish Succession]] would not be successful.
