War of Devolution (jan 1, 1667 – jan 1, 1668)
Description:
Louis' first marriage to the Spanish infanta (princess) gave him a sort of claim to the Spanish throne and an opportunity to wrest it from his wife's half-brother, the sickly toddler Charles II; an alliance among the Swedes, the English, and the Dutch thwarted the King's plans
