since he was so deformed from inbreeding he could barely stand. He was the last os the reigning Hapsburgs.
We often speak of MAGAs (and before that, impoverished Republicans) as being inbred. But they ain't got nothin' on the Hapsburgs.

Charles III of Spain was also incapable of fathering a child, and that resulted in The War of the Spanish Succession. He was definitely the end of that road.
And by that time all the reigning Hapsburgs wee so deformed, I don't know who would have been able to continue. If you do, pleas let me know.
