Charles II Gonzaga (1609–1631) was the son of Charles I, Duke of Mantua and Catherine of Lorraine (also known as Catherine of Mayenne), he was the Duke of Nevers and Rethel, together with his father. In 1621, he succeeded his uncle Henry of Lorraine as Duke of Mayenne. In 1627 he married his cousin Maria Gonzaga, inheritor to the Duchy of Mantua and the Marquisate of Montferrat. However, Cesare II Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla and emperor Ferdinand II did not accept this succession line, leading to the War of Mantuan Succession (1628–1631). Charles was never the proper Duke of Mantua since he died at Cavriana six years before his father. When the latter died in 1637, Charles's eight-year-old son, Charles II, became Duke of Mantua, his widow Maria acting as regent. His daughter Eleonora became Holy Roman Empress. ==Family== In December 1627 he married his cousin Maria Gonzaga, the marriage being arranged by Vincenzo II Gonzaga. Charles and Maria had three children: *Maria *Charles II (1629–1665), Duke of Mantua. *Eleonora (1630–1686), who married in 1651 Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Gonzaga, Duke of Nevers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
