Define "true Habsburg Monarch" given the fact the Habsburgs ruled the Spanish empire for nigh on 2 centuries, with its first being the HRE Emperor himself, Charles I/V von Habsburg
 
as in, it is directly ruled by a habsburg monarch instead of under a viceroy.

The Vice-royal-ships were created because it was feasibly impossible for one person to rule over the extent of the Spanish empire...they were basically more powerful governors, but still under and "answerable" to the "Spanish" throne....
 
true. this idea was quite implausible, but i wonder what would happen if, say, a habsburg royal somehow got to the spanish east indies and led the colony there to victory against the dutch. idk, it's pretty ASB.
