 | | Charles had already suggested the formation of a class of Magnates of the Kingdom, paralleling the Spanish Grandeeship, an idea that was supported by King Philip (letter of 23 December 1736), who later suggested the names of candidates. |
 | | As an Order of the Collar and the highest Order of the Kingdom, it was intended to equal in rank that of the Golden Fleece, awarded by his father in Spain, and that of the Holy Spirit, given by his cousin in France. |
 | | Those Charles appointed without consulting his father were the Prince of Santobuono, the Prince of Montemileto, Marquess Giuseppe Spinelli di Fuscaldo, Constable of the Kingdom Colonna, the Duke of Atri, the Count of Fuenclara, and the Count of Wackerbarth (letter of 8 July 1738). |
