EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the moment of the Exorcism of Carlos II, the last Habsburg king of Spain, in the late 17th century. Born in 1661, Carlos II was afflicted by various physical and mental health issues throughout his reign, leading many to believe he was under a curse or bewitched. His inability to produce an heir further fueled these rumors, as the Habsburg dynasty was on the brink of extinction. In this photograph, a priest performs an exorcism on the king, holding a crucifix in an attempt to drive out the supposed evil forces tormenting him. The year was circa 1680, and the events surrounding Carlos II's reign were a source of great intrigue and concern for the Spanish people. Carlos II's physical sufferings were well-documented, including a severe stammer, epilepsy, and a deformed jaw that made it difficult for him to eat. His mental health was equally troubling, with reports of erratic behavior and bouts of madness. Despite numerous attempts at treatment, including the exorcism depicted in this image, Carlos II failed to provide an heir and ultimately died in 1700, marking the end of the Habsburg dynasty in Spain. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the complexities and uncertainties of the past, as well as the enduring fascination with the supernatural and the unknown. The image of the exorcism of Carlos II continues to captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into a time when the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural were less clearly defined.
