Absolutely Disturbing Fate of Spain’s Doomed Queen

Quintanapalla is a village near Burgos, and in 1679 the King of Spain got married there in a cottage. His bride was Marie Louise d'Orléans, niece of Louis XIV, sent from France in tears. The groom was Carlos II, the Bewitched, last of the Spanish Habsburgs and wrecked by inbreeding. Madrid gave her a court where nobody could touch the queen and an auto-da-fé staged for her wedding. For nine years she took the blame for the missing heir. She died at 26 after a supper of cold oysters, and France said poison. Madrid's rhyme: have a baby or go back to Paris.
