House of Habsburg and Bourbon in Spain (ordenados por el año en que reinaron)

Fernando VII (Bourbon)

1808 BCE

Ferdinand VII of Spain, called "the Desired" and "King Felón", personally occupied the Spanish throne between March and May 1808 and, after the departure from Spain of the "intruder king" José I Bonaparte and his return to the country, again from May 1814 until his death.
He was the son of Carlos IV, with whom he had very bad relations: already as Prince of Asturias he conspired against his father, grouping around him those dissatisfied with the policy of the worthy Manuel Godoy.

Carlos IV (Bourbon)

1788 BCE

Carlos IV of Spain, called "the Hunter", was King of Spain from December 14, 1788 to March 19, 1808. Son and successor of Carlos III and María Amalia de Saxony.
King of Spain (Portici, Naples, 1748 - Rome, 1819). He succeeded his father, Carlos III, when he died in 1788. He was a king little inclined to government affairs, which he left largely in the hands of his wife María Luisa de Parma and her lover, Manuel Godoy. Initially he followed his father's advice to keep Floridablanca.

Carlos III (Bourbon)

1759 BCE

Carlos III of Spain, called "the Politician" or "the Best Mayor of Madrid"
King of Naples (1734-1759) and of Spain (1759-1788), belonging to the House of Bourbon (Madrid, 1716-1788). He was the third son of Felipe V and the first he had with his second wife, Isabel de Farnesio, so it was his stepbrother Fernando VI, who succeeded his father on the Spanish throne.
Carlos III put an end to the powers of the Church, cutting the jurisdiction of the Inquisition and limiting.

Fernando VI (Bourbon)

1746 BCE

Ferdinand VI of Spain, called "the Prudent" or "the Just", was King of Spain from 1746 until his death. He was the fourth son of Felipe V and his first wife María Luisa Gabriela de Saboya.
King of Spain (Madrid, 1712 - Villaviciosa de Odón, Madrid, 1759). He was the son of Felipe V's first marriage, whom he succeeded when he died in 1746 (and not in 1724, when his brother Luis I died, as the rule of succession of the house of bourbon)

Felipe V (bourbon)

1725 BCE

He is one of the most important monarchs in the history of Spain, and he reigned longer than any other Spanish sovereign, 46 years. Actually, Felipe V occupied the throne twice. King Philip V, Spain's first Bourbon monarch, ruled for forty-six years.

Luis I (bourbon)

1724 BCE

Luis I of Spain, called "the Well Beloved" or "the Liberal" (Madrid, August 25, 1707- Madrid, August 31, 1724), was King of Spain from January 15, 1724 until his death 229 days later, which makes his reign the most ephemeral in the history of Spain. Note 1 He was the eldest son of Felipe V and María Luisa de Saboya.
Educated and prepared to be king by the Marquis of Riscal de Alegre, Don Baltasar Hurtado de Amézaga Unzaga, gentleman of the King's Chamber.

Felipe V (Bourbon)

1700 BCE

(Felipe de Borbón or Anjou, called the Courageous; Versailles, France, 1683 - Madrid, 1746) King of Spain (1700-1746). Second son of the great dauphin Luis of France and María Ana Cristina of Bavaria, he was designated heir to the Crown of Spain by the last Spanish king of the Habsburg dynasty, Carlos II, who died without issue. The coronation of Felipe de Anjou in 1700 as Felipe V of Spain marked the advent of the Bourbon dynasty to the Spanish throne.

Carlos II (Habsburg)

1665 BCE

Carlos II of Spain, called "the Bewitched", was King of Spain between 1665 and 1700. Son and heir of Philip IV and Mariana of Austria.
The successive consanguineous marriages of the royal family produced such degeneration that Carlos grew up emaciated, sickly and of little intelligence, as well as impotent, which would entail a serious succession conflict when he died without descendants and thus the Spanish branch of the House of Habsburg.

Felipe IV (Habsburg)

1621 BCE

(Valladolid, 1605 - Madrid, 1665) King of Spain (1621-1665), son and successor of Philip III. During the long and crucial reign of Felipe IV, the Hispanic monarchy, on the slope of economic and political decline, experienced the last splendors of the Golden Age and had to accept the loss of hegemony in Europe, after exhausting wars and a serious internal crisis.
Philip IV, sensitive and intelligent by nature, hid his shyness, like his grandfather Philip II, behind ceremonial composure.

Felipe III (Habsburg)

1598 BCE

(Madrid, 1578-1621) King of Spain and Portugal, son of Felipe II, whom he succeeded in 1598. The death of Felipe II marked the end of a political system and the beginning of another government regime. The Spanish kings of the 17th century limited themselves to fulfilling the bureaucratic duties of the Crown, leaving power in the hands of people they absolutely trusted, the validos.
A fan of the theater, painting and above all hunting, Felipe III

Felipe II (Habsburg)

(Valladolid, 1527 - El Escorial, 1598) King of Spain (1556-1598). With the exception of the Holy Germanic Empire, whose crown was ceded to Ferdinand I of Habsburg, King and Emperor Charles V bequeathed all the European and American possessions that made up the Spanish Empire to his son Philip II, who became then (as he had already been) been his father) the most powerful monarch of the time
