A Hunting Trip (Charles II of Spain and Fernando de Valenzuela Fanart)

Authors note: A story based on fact

Charles II of Spain approached his mother, kissed her on the cheek, and asked if he could join the hunting expedition to El Escorial. Although Mariana agreed, she grew concerned. She knew Carlos was eager to go, but she worried for his safety and needed someone to watch over him. Before she could decide, Valenzuela stepped forward and volunteered. His confidence impressed Mariana, and after a moment, she nodded, saying, "Take care of my son."

Both Carlos and Valenzuela rode in their carriages and left the palace. When they arrived at El Escorial, they began to prepare their hunting gear. Eager to prove himself, Carlos attempted to shoot a deer nearby but failed to capture it. Valenzuela then asked for permission to leave to attend to some important matters. Carlos nodded, and after a few minutes, when he felt the time was right, he raised his gun and fired.

A sudden scream tore through the air, prompting Carlos to check where it was coming from. His heart pounded as he saw Valenzuela on the ground, clutching his bleeding foot. Carlos lowered his weapon and asked, "What happened?"

"You shot me," Valenzuela responded.

Servants hurried over to help Valenzuela; without hesitation, they lifted him and placed him inside the carriage, preparing to take him back to the palace.

Although Valenzuela had control of court entertainments and activities, he had not yet penetrated any governing institutions. After the three-member junta scheme evaporated, rumors started that he was to be appointed to the Council of State. This exacerbated an already unstable situation. This appointment did not materialize, likely because of the opposition. But fate intervened: during a hunting expedition in El Escorial, Carlos II accidentally shot Valenzuela. The injury was not life threatening, but the king felt terrible, and he elevated Valenzuela to a grandeeship on the spot. This was the highest social recognition the king could grant to his nobles, one that was highly coveted and not easily obtained. Moreover, Carlos invited Valenzuela and his family to move into the palace, giving them the rooms that had belonged to Prince Baltasar Carlos. The nobility, particularly the grandees, were furious.
