Birth of Don Carlos
On 1545, Maria Manuela would give birth to a healthy son baptized as Carlos, but Maria Manuela would die after giving birth due to the complications of the pregnancy and immediately Philip, Prince of Asturias decided to marry Maria of Portugal, the half aunt of Maria Manuela so that Infante Carlos would be raised by someone close to his mother.
Maria Manuela was said to have smiled at the birth of Infante Carlos before she died as she believed that her son would have a great life in which she would not be mistaken as he would be able to rule Portugal after the death of King Sebastian of Portugal but he is not able to be the King of whole Iberia or Spain.
