Phillip the Handsome, Joanna of Castile
Copulate did they, six children did they yield
Three of the spawn, here's what they've done
Deformation of genes through kissing cousins
Five generations
Consanguinity
(???)
Phillip the Second of Spain (married his niece!)
Phillip the Third of Spain (his second cousin!)
Phillip the Fourth of Spain (married his niece!)
Together they had the ugliest king!
The politics of inbreeding!

At long last
An heir is born
May Cherubim and Seraphim
Rain sweet meats upon you
Dios mios!
No!
Dios mios!
Believe this is my son?
Oh holy ghost, what have I done, this
Tangled mass, travesty,
My paternal legacy, oh
No me gusta
No me gusta
No me gusta tu nariz
No me gusta tu boca
No me gusta tu cabeza
No me gusta tu todo

mandibular prognathism

Short, lame, epileptic
Senile and completely
Bald before 35
Always on the verge of death
But repeatedly
Baffled Christendom
By continuing
To live
ahhhhhh
Couldn't talk until he’s 4
Couldn't walk until he’s 8
An unbroken stream of calamaties
His rule will devastate
unable to chew
Refusing to die
Continuing to live

The ugliest king!
Waring with France
12000 dead per year
During his short reign
2 million Spaniards... muerte!
Crop failures
Earthquakes
Epidemics
General malaise
The ugliest king!

My first wife died
And how I cried
Within 3 months
I have my new bride
Wedding night, something’s wrong
Erectile dysfunction
Premature ejaculation
Doomed to never have a son

A fine day for a witch hunt
Witchfinder General at my side
The Holy Office, rack and thumbscrews
Man of God who flays your hide
Fuego!
Twenty-one people are dying
Twenty-one people are dying
Twenty-one people are dying
Twenty-one people are dead!
Flesh is burning
Heretics screaming
The crowd is booing
Most amusing

El Hechizado

Louis XIV
The riots in Madrid
Louis XIV
And the riots in Madrid
Consign the report to the flame
We will not be laid with blame
The Lord’s work, not a game
Forced to kill before we save
Archbishop of Toldeo!
Duke of Anjou!

November 1st
1700
Charles II of Spain
Is found dead
His heart the size of a grain of pepper
Not a single drop of blood in his body
His lungs were corroded
His intestines were putrid
He had a single testicle
Which was black as carbon
And his head was
Full of water
And his head was
Full of water
Having no son or daughter
The line ends with him, Charles II
