The War of Spanish Succession laid the foundation for the discord. Charles II was the last Habsburg King of Spain. He appointed Philip, who was the grandson of Louis XIV of France and second son of the French Dauphin, as his successor. The Crown of Aragon, which included Barcelona, revolted against Philip, while the Crown of Castile, which included the Spanish capital of Madrid, supported Philip. Relations between the two have never recovered since the early 18th century.
