Carlos II of Spain’s failing health is proven to be due to possession by the devil, which was made possible by having been tricked into drinking hot chocolate with a dead man’s penis mixed into it. There is simply no other explanation.

The king’s bewitchment was now regarded as official fact; his inability to produce an heir was, in fact, taken as a sign that Carlos was possessed by the devil. The court was convulsed with talk of witches, charms, and ciphers with the king’s name written in diabolical code. The exorcist assigned to the case conducted interviews with the devil to find out how the king had been enchanted, and he reported that it had been “done to destroy his generative organs, and to render him incapable of administering the kingdom” and that the enchantment had been achieved using “the members [genitalia] of a dead man” mixed into a chocolate drink.
