On November 2 1837 the opening of Carlos II el Hechizado (Charles
II the bewitched) at the Teatro del Principe in Madrid, Spain,
became one of the greatest scandals of its times. The play is about
an alleged spell cast on Charles II, the last Habsburg who reigned
in Spain, by a young girl accused of the crime by a libidinous
priest, father Froilan. The king condemns the girl to burn at the
stake, in spite of knowing that she is his own daughter. The
contemporary critique attacked the play blaming it of immorality
and exaggeration, of containing scenes of base melodramatic quality
and macabre iconography, and the lack of respect shown by the
author towards the historical main character and the Catholic
church. In spite of all this the play remained on stage for eleven
days, and it was restaged repeatedly until the last third of the
XIX Century. This obeys mainly to the fact that the exorcism
endured by the monarch, the imprisonment of the two young lovers in
the Santo Oficio dungeons, the conjectures on the succession at the
Escorial pantheon, the popular revolt against the oppressing
nobility, are attractive episodes that, conveniently presented by
Antonio Gil y Zarate (1796-1861), contribute to a romantic and
exceptional interpretation of the unhappy ending of Charles II
(1661-1700), king of Spain between 1665 until his death. This
critical and annotated edition by prof Montserrat Ribao constitutes
a great enhancement to any course on Spanish literature and drama
of the Romantic period.
