Infante Carlos Of Spain (1607–1632)
The Infante Carlos of Spain, also known as The Infante Charles of Spain (15 September 1607 – 30 July 1632), was an ''infante'' of Spain, the second son of King Felipe III of Spain and Margaret of Austria. Life The ''Infante'' Carlos was the younger brother of Felipe IV, and, as long as the King remained childless, was heir to the Spanish throne. Carlos was never a friend of Felipe's favourite and prime minister, the Count-Duke of Olivares, and though he was uninterested in politics, he was used by various nobles in attempts to overthrow Olivares. During his brother's severest illness, Carlos was on the point of ascending the throne, but Felipe recovered and in 1629 finally fathered a son, Balthasar Carlos.
