This king's navy was defeated by the British at the Battle of Cape Passaro. This king unsuccessfully plotted to assassinate the Duke of Orleans as part of a conspiracy named for this king's ambassador to France, Antonio Cellamare. Other advisors to this king included Cardinal Alberoni, who convinced this king to make an ill-fated invasion of Sicily, leading to the War of the Quadruple Alliance. This king's opponents claimed that his reign was a violation of the Hague Partition Treaties. A coalition against this ruler included Britain and Austria and attempted to replace him with Archduke Charles, a Habsburg. For ten points, name this first Bourbon king of Spain, a nephew of Louis XIV whose accession caused the War of the Spanish Succession.
