| Carlos, 2 years after his fall from stairs |
At first Carlos was just a weird result of inbreeding and mental instability, his parents were like half siblings in the eyes of genetics. But after an accidental trip down the stairs that caused head trauma, he became insane. In one story, when he was given smaller shoes, smaller than he liked, he in all his insanity forced the shoemaker to eat them. He became so reckless, that he even had some thoughts about murdering his father, King Philip II.

| Philip II |
Philip recognized how dangerous his son was becoming, and ordered him to be kept prisoner in his (Carlos') rooms. This act and being stuck in a prison, caused Carlos to become suicidal, though not taking any action, since threatening was all enough. Meanwhile he was becoming every day more sick in his prison and eventually his time came, and he died after six months of being in there.
At least that is the account.
Rumors spread after his death that Philip had killed him in a result of a love affair between the prince and Philip's new wife. But really will you believe those?
