The Most Inbred People to Ever Live

[@mythos951]

Little bit of a misconception here: it wasn’t out of a desire to “keep the blood pure” that concept did exist, but what it really meant was royals would just only marry other royals. The real motivation for marrying within one’s extended family in medieval Europe was property consolidation. There was a desire to keep all land within dynasty hands, and inheritance laws would inevitable break property between families. Unless the 2 individuals marrying were in the same family.

[@danielgrezda3339]

Yeah the blood pure argument was just the excuse, not the reason.

[@datredhat]

This is true. But what also didn’t help was that the haspsburgd were MARRYING other dynasties to gain land. This makes things worse because a lot of those dynasties were also inbred. Many people back then were inbred. I myself am particularly inbred.

So 2 things to note about the Habsburg line: 1. The portraits of Charles the Fifth and Charles the Second are meant to make than look better than they actually looked, so the effects of inbreeding were probably more pronounced than the portraits that were made. 2. There are actually some members of the Habsburg line that are that are still alive today. Kinda. At some point, the Habsburg line split between the Spanish line (which was incredibly inbred,even by the standards of the Middle Ages), and the Austrian line, which was somewhat less genetically f**ked, and stopped the process of inbreeding altogether when people learned of the consequences of genetic bottlenecks. To my knowledge, there are several hundred descendants of the Habsburg line throughout Europe, some of which are still involved in politics.

[@tankpea2]

I think there was a line of Habsburgs that lived in Poland at some point. Its even possible to put one of them as king in hoi4

[@arkcliref]

in fact, the house head of Habsburg-Lorraine and the royal claimant to Austria (Karl) is involved in wider European politics. Also, the Spanish line survives (albeit in a female line) through the House of Bourbon (and thus all Spanish kings after Charles II have Habsburg blood)

[@justynajoniak6737]

[@magolor152]

[@malicekerendu3574]

To add to Tut's story: Tutankhamun's dad, Tutankhaton, was inbred himself. That might have been the reason for his god complex, seen as he named himself and his son after gods (Aton and Amun). He was also REALLY in favour of inbreeding. To the point that he encouraged Amun to have lots of children with his sister. After Aton died, Amun had 6 children (all with his sister and while he himself was a child) and they all died by the time they reached the age of 6. You would think royals would stop inbreeding after they see a pattern.

[@BenBerke]

You are mostly correct about recessive genes but there is something you got wrong. Inbred children are more likely to have a recessive genes because their parents are related which means they are more likely to carry the same recessive genes. Inbreeding does not change the chances whether you inherit the diseased genes. It just means your parents are more likely to carry that recessive genes which means there is a chance you will inherit them.

1:15 Fun fact about the Spanish Habsburgs: When Francisco Franco decided to finally restore the Spanish Monarchy, his first choice was actually a Habsburg - Otto Von Habsburg (very interesting man if you wanna do a deep dive - and I mean that in a positive way). Otto declined because of how long it has been since a Hapsburg ruled Spain (not to mention he was already a pretty successful member of the European Parliament). Franco then went to Juan Carlos of the House of Bourbon, who accepted. After Franco’s death, Juan began restoring Spanish democracy. So there is a timeline where Spain is currently ruled by the Habsburgs.

Inbreeding is also fairly common among animals; there’s a lineage of finches in the Galapagos that can all trace back to three individuals. This one finch arrived on a new island and managed to mate with two finches of another species. Their kids, unusually, were fertile, but their songs were messed up and they couldn’t attract the existing finches, so they did it with their siblings and parents. After a couple of decades of this, their genes had been so altered that the population was able to be classified as its own species.

As an addition, Queen Victoria had descendants all over Europe, in the different royal families. This resulted in Alexei, son of Nicholas II of Russia, to have hemophilia as well. This in turn led to the tzar hiring Rasputin as a healer to look after his son. Also on the subject of Egypt, Cleopatra was highly inbred as well. She was part of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, founded by Ptolemy, successor of Alexander the Great. For almost 300 years, the entire bloodline was inbred. The kings were all called Ptolemy, and the queens were all called Cleopatra. Brothers and sisters would marry and have children, keeping the bloodline pure. Also due to its isolation and relatively small population, Iceland tends to have problems with inbreeding. This is usually more accidental though, and usually involves some variety of cousin rather than siblings. And it should be mentioned that once you get to second cousin territory (where you share a great grandparent), the risk of birth defects becomes almost 0, so it's more of a societal stigma rather than medical. One famous example of this was Franklin Roosevelt, who married his second cousin Eleanor Roosevelt (yes, that was her maiden name). As far as I'm aware their children didn't suffer from any ill effects of this union.
