charles stuart -lrb- 22 october 16605 may 1661 -rrb- was the first of four sons and eight children born from the marriage between james , duke of york -lrb- later james ii of england & vii of scotland -rrb- and his first wife , anne hyde .
he was styled `` duke of cambridge '' , but never formally created so , because he died so young .
he was conceived seven months before his parents ' official marriage and if royal advisors and henrietta maria of france -lrb- the mother of james -rrb- had their way , he could have been declared illegitimate , as his mother , anne , was not of royal blood .
however , charles ii of england , james ' brother , approved of the marriage and the wedding between james and anne was held on 3 september 1660 in london .
charles was born on 22 october and was baptised on 1 january 1661 at worcester house .
however , he died before reaching the age of one , after becoming ill with smallpox .
he was buried in westminster abbey , on 6 may 1661 .
he died before the patent for this title was passed and his younger brother , james was formally created `` duke of cambridge '' .
after james ' death in 1667 , at the age of three , another younger brother , edgar was styled as such , but he , too , died at the age of three and all titles became extinct until the birth of the another son , also named charles , in 1677 .
