A Strange thing Happened on the wat to the Forum ----
Well, I was resigned to try number three (or was it four?) with the high (the middle one) era Italians - the Spanish were just too far ahead in points and my economy depended on them. Three turns left and --- the Spanish king dies without heir and nobody left is anywhere close to me. There's still two turns to go and all heck has broken lose but it sure looks like a come from behind victory is imminent. Maybe that ol' Pope isn't too bad after all :)

Old age, or was he helped along? :evil:

The Spanish had been fighting a long term war with the Danes (who at one time had all the coastal continental provinces, Britain, Ireland, and the Balkans) and with the Egyptians - perhaps heirs were killed off - but the game doesn't announce this so I am unsure. The king himself died of old age (or, illness as the game calls it).
