Carlos IV

Japanese: カルロス[4世](英語表記)Carlos IV
Carlos IV
1748‐1819
King of Spain. Reigned 1788-1808. Second son of Charles III. Born in Naples, he married Maria Luisa, daughter of the Duke of Parma, in 1765. Lacking the ability to unify the nation during the chaotic French Revolution, he left the affairs of state to his favorites. He especially favored Godoy, said to be the queen's lover, and made him prime minister. Goya's masterpiece, The Family of Charles IV, portrays the king as lacking in individuality. He lost his entire fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and incurred the wrath of the people by making a secret agreement to allow Napoleon's army to invade the Iberian Peninsula in 1807. In March 1808, he abdicated the throne to Prince Ferdinand (later King Ferdinand VII) in the Aranjuez Rebellion led by Prince Ferdinand.

Japanese:
1748‐1819
スペイン王。在位1788‐1808年。カルロス3世の第2子。ナポリに生まれ,1765年パルマ公の娘マリア・ルイサと結婚。フランス革命期の混乱したスペインの国内をまとめる能力に欠け,寵臣に国政を任せた。なかでも王妃の愛人といわれるゴドイを重用し,宰相とした。ゴヤの大作《カルロス4世の家族》に,個性のない国王の姿が描き出されている。1805年のトラファルガー海戦で全艦隊を失い,07年のナポレオン軍のイベリア半島侵入を許す密約で国民の怒りを買い,08年3月王子フェルナンド(のちの7世)によるアランフエスの暴動で王子に位を譲った。
