Louis XIV and Charles II were connected through their familial relationship as first cousins. Louis XIV's mother, Anne of Austria, was the sister of Charles II's father, King Philip IV of Spain. This made Louis XIV and Charles II first cousins once removed. Their shared bloodline and family ties influenced their political alliances and interactions during their reigns in France and England, respectively.
Only counting the legitimate line: Louis XIV's grandsons were Louis Duke of Burgundy, Philip V of Spain and Charles Duke of Berry, who were the sons of his only son Louis the Dauphin (Crown prince). Sadly, Both the Dauphin and his eldest son the Duke of Burgundy died before Louis XIV, leaving the elderly king's only heir and eventual successor to be his toddler great-grandson Louis Duke of Anjou who ascended as Louis XV when Louis XIV died in 1715. And yes, contrary to popular belief Louis XV is not the son of Louis XIV but rather his great-grandson
In 1667, Charles II struck a deal with his cousin, Louis XIV for support in the third Anglo-Dutch War. Louis agreed to also provide Charles with a $200,000 "pension". Charles agreed to support for Louis' claim to the Spanish throne and agreed to convert to Catholicism.

Spanish King Philip II and French King Louis XIV significantly influenced the arts during their reigns. Philip II promoted the Spanish Renaissance, commissioning works from artists like El Greco and establishing the Escorial as a cultural hub.
