  • Yes

Answer

Ferdinand IV was not successful in strengthening the royal authority because he died before he could. He was only 18 years old when he became king, and he was not prepared for the challenges of ruling. He was also influenced by his advisers, who did not always have the best interests of the kingdom at heart.
