Infante Pedro Carlos of Spain and Portugal

Charles IV (1748-1819) was King of Spain from 1788 to 1808.
Suppose Charles IV is the Spanish king to 1819.
He still marries Maria Luisa of Parma. However, they are childless.
Now suppose Charles IV has only the younger brother, Infante Gabriel of Spain (1752-1788). Gabriel still marries Infanta Maria Ana Vitoria of Portugal.
They have the one son, Infante Pedro Carlos (1786-1812).
Suppose Pedro Carlos lives numerous years beyond 1812.

Thus Infante Pedro Carlos in 1819 succeeds his childless uncle, Charles IV of Spain.
Shall he be King Charles V of Spain? Or shall he be King Peter V of Spain?
What happens in his reign?
 
Shall he be King Charles V of Spain? Or shall he be King Peter V of Spain?
What happens in his reign?

1) Carlos V, but it doesn't really matter either way.
2) Well, you've got Carlos IV reigning until 1819, so that means that Napoleon's invasion of Spain either fails or doesn't happen in the first place. Thus, most Euro politics will be completely different by the time Pedro Carlos becomes King.
3) It looks like your PoD is in 1751, so "supposing" anything in the 1800s is bullshit. Just look up "butterflies" on the wiki or something, because the fact that you're prescribing historical events 70 years post-PoD tells me that you can easily make up the rest of human history in this AltHist yourself without needing the rest of us to contribute.
 
Ferdinand VI, King Of Spain (1746-1759), was the first Ferdinand of the united kingdom of Spain.
He numbered himself after Ferdinand V, King of Castile.
Of the kings of Aragon, there were four kings named Peter.
Of the kings of Castile, there was one king named Peter.

Thus Infante Pedro Carlos could reign as Peter V or Peter II.
