*** Rare. Charles declared himself King of Spain following the death
of Charles II of Spain in 1700; both being members of the House of
Hapsburg. However, a rival claim from France’s Phillippe, Duke of
Anjou, resulted in the War of the Spanish Succession. The present
broadside commemorates the arrival of the self-styled King Charles III
of Spain on Spanish soil. Some five years later he returned to Vienna
after the death of his brother Joseph I to assume the imperial crown.
The war culminated with the treaties of Utrecht and Rastatt in 1713.
