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.
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.

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.

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.
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)
Also Eduard von Habsburg Lorraine make a children’s book that was anti Polish and Czech propaganda (he is jealous they had nationalist movements that ended his family’s empire) and also is a weeb and responds to art of anime woman Habsburg stuff and judges them on historical accuracy.

How? I know the English cognatic line of descent includes Slavic figures but I never heard of Romanian royalty being a part of it. And I can't find anything indicating Romanian blood from Prince Phillip's family.
The main link I found is Claudine Rhédey de Kis-Rhéde, a Hungarian monarch from a family that intermarried a lot with Romanian families. She married into the German Treck family, her granddaughter Mary of Treck then married into the her son was George VI who gave birth to Elizabeth II who then gave birth to king Charles III Long story short. Romanian and Hungarian families intermarried, Hungarian and German families intermarried, German and British Families intermarried. King Charles himself mentioned about his lineage to Vlad the Impaler, also I remember seeing a Romanian image depicting 4 or 5 traces between Charles III and Vlad III
Another thing to note is even when descendants of the Hapsburgs tried to stop inbreeding they couldn’t because they’d married into so many noble families across Europe that there was pretty much no one that wasn’t a commoner that wasn’t at least slightly related to them

They were also so obsessed with maintaining their so-called racial purity, they resorted to inbreeding. Thousands of generations later, their stagnant gene pool left them sterile. So they decided that if they couldn't have the universe, no one else would. They invaded every other inhabited planet they could find to exterminate the inhabitants, but they are thwarted when Ben uses the Omnitrix to infuse them with the DNA of random aliens from its database, making them fertile again, and saving them from extinction. They are then convinced not to kill themselves, when one of their own comes in, and tells them that genetic diversity is actually a good thing.
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.
man won't be a replacement of franco considering otto also disliked a certain austrian and probably thought he and franco are too similar, so there's that
I completely forgot about that and looked the scene up again. The only difference to the actual story seems to be that they killed about 500 people over 25 years in AOT instead of 1000.
He’s a funny story I’ve heard, so a bunch of Christians missionaries went to some pacific island to spread the word of Christ. The natives accepted the new faith and when the chief asked the missionaries what is considered a sin one of them said inbreeding. So the chieftain went around the island for like a week or so before coming back to the missionaries to tell them there were 26 case of sin on the island due to inbreeding. (Keep in mind there was like 26 people on the island.) the missionaries had to tell them it wasn’t a sin if they had no choice.

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.
I never thought Spartan would brought up Genetics in a youtube video, since I'm a 4th (final) year college Bio student and I'm currently studying Human Genetics, really appreciated his summary of the science behind this😊
a few things I wanted to point out: 1. Charles II autopsy may have some truth to it, because his brain being full of water has actually happened to modern person, seriously, look it up. 2. King Tut did something of importance during his reign, you see his predecessor replaced the Egyptian polytheistic religion with probably the first monotheistic one, Atenism. What Tut did is revert that and bring back the ancient religion back to prominence

King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy was very short, borderline dwarfism, due to inbreeding, the problem was that thanks to queen Victoria and the Habsburgs the majorty of european nobility was just as inbred, so the only viable choice was a princess from Montenegro, marryng her didn't bring any political benefit, but at least her dynasty wasn't inbred, and she was healthy.
I just remember the Conan O'Brien interview with the lineage geneticist or whatever they're called. "You're 100% irish, in all my years ive never seen 100% of anything." "Well what does that mean?"

Same reason why people would marry schizophrenic rich guys. What mattered to them was the inheritance power and inbreeding on the short run was a pretty good way of strengthing a royal family in that regard. But it also means less political ties for said royal family.
@@Mr.TwoFaceGuy The answer is simple it’s because they were too stupid to put two and two together along with it appearing that keeping the bloodline “pure” was more important no matter how bad it got. It seems not ONCE did they try and mingle with a non family member to see what would happen.
3:05 actually, pretty much all of thar describes actual medical conditions, "head full of water" is a damn apt description of hydrocephalus, wherein the liquid that cushions the brain is overproduced to the point of gradually crushing the brain within the skull.
First of all there is little reason to consider Alexander "Sawney" Bean a real person due to the lack of contemporary records, even from active historians and chroniclers of the time. Second that legend was literally the inspiration for "The Hills Have Eyes".
Should've taked about zoroastrian's and the whole concept of "Xwedodah" and how it's considered divine to marry your sister, mother, and *GRANDDAUGHTER...*
Zoroastrianism is interesting... though note that all relevant monarchs I'm aware of in Iran are birthed from unrelated concubines, so they aren't really inbred (although they probably practice incest)
Even with all of this, there's still Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty and how Nicholas II's son Alexis having hemophilia was the main reason the Russian royal family made friends with Rasputin. Another fun fact: the word "mausoleum" originates from King Mausolus's tomb (the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), which was ordered to be constructed by his sister/wife.
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.
The Habsburg royal family is actually still alive one of their descendants even has a twitter(X) account which I actually follow, cuz it’s funny following a Habsburg on twitter
I love how Western Europe is like: "yeah, marrying your sibling is ok, totally normal" And then, there is Eastern Europe that has stories and legends that say how everyone and everything you love will DIE if you marry your cousin😂

I never thought Spartan would brought up Genetics in a youtube video, since I'm a 4th (final) year college Bio student and I'm currently studying Human Genetics, really appreciated his summary of the science behind this😊
Ww1 was technically a family feud
Uk, Germany, Russia
The leaders where eachother's cousins
0:12 well some leaders where appointed by God but it had nothing to do with their blood and so the like inbreeding thing was just human greed.
Appointed by god? Who was that?
@@_thisnameistaken Well King Saul, King David, etc.
@@Yipper64 it’s difficult to prove that those people existed, let alone that god (who is also very difficult to prove exists) appointed them
@@_thisnameistaken You are historically illiterate...
@@_thisnameistaken its more their line of reasoning why they have the right to rule rather than literally being appointed by God
Minecraft cows in farms: Are you challenging me?
a few things I wanted to point out:
1. Charles II autopsy may have some truth to it, because his brain being full of water has actually happened to modern person, seriously, look it up.
2. King Tut did something of importance during his reign, you see his predecessor replaced the Egyptian polytheistic religion with probably the first monotheistic one, Atenism. What Tut did is revert that and bring back the ancient religion back to prominence
I’ve been watching you for a few months now, really enjoy your news content I find it more direct and simplified than actual news sources, sometimes in the later half of those forms of videos it can turn into just rambling but it’s ok it’s entertaining.
All that to say I really like this clifnotes history style of videos very fun I hope to see more
Thank you for doing a video on several centuries old drama.
No videogame bullshit
Just good old classic spantz
Spatnz just gave me a whole history lecture. and i enjoyed it...
British moment
King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy was very short, borderline dwarfism, due to inbreeding, the problem was that thanks to queen Victoria and the Habsburgs the majorty of european nobility was just as inbred, so the only viable choice was a princess from Montenegro, marryng her didn't bring any political benefit, but at least her dynasty wasn't inbred, and she was healthy.
Here is a fun game, take a shot every time he says inbreeding.

5:52 That's a total of about 600000 seizures
LORD.
Finally a video spatnz has personal experience with.
man this breaking news from the 1800's is crazy. cant wait to see how this is going to affect the gaming and tech industry!
Keep up the good work!
7:35 Wait isn't that just The Coffin of Andy and LeyLey?
hot
I didn’t know popularMMOS switched to this channel
gorsh i didnt know there was such a dark history behind it! i’ll never do it again, thanks spatnz!😊
I just remember the Conan O'Brien interview with the lineage geneticist or whatever they're called.
"You're 100% irish, in all my years ive never seen 100% of anything."
"Well what does that mean?"
"It means you're inbred"
Then Conan O'Brien has this sort of blank shocked expression as he slowly turns to the camera
These styles of videos are nice to see.
I like people like this because they’re not regular. I like more exotic and differentiated personnel
WHAT
hmm yes i do indeed enjoy the fine delicacies which are mutated and extremely unhealthy people which may or may not have serious mental illnesses hmm yes
what? 💀
🍿
hmmm yes i do enjoy when my comment gets deleted for no reason hmm yes fine commenting truly
love this content style
Western Royalty be like
" Sister! I am arriving!! " - is what I imagine when I saw this video.
I don’t get how they didn’t put the 2-2 together. You just up making everyone worse in every way. Looks and health.
Same reason why people would marry schizophrenic rich guys.
What mattered to them was the inheritance power and inbreeding on the short run was a pretty good way of strengthing a royal family in that regard.
But it also means less political ties for said royal family.
@@Mr.TwoFaceGuy The answer is simple it’s because they were too stupid to put two and two together along with it appearing that keeping the bloodline “pure” was more important no matter how bad it got. It seems not ONCE did they try and mingle with a non family member to see what would happen.
This is the calmest i've heard you in any video
Bro I didn’t sign up sign up biology class 💀💀💀
Finally! A topic I can relate to
same
I'll never look at fantasy kingdom genres the same ever again.
finally, something spatnz has first hand experience in
The real tragedy is that these families still demand respect
Celestial dragon looken ass
3:05 actually, pretty much all of thar describes actual medical conditions, "head full of water" is a damn apt description of hydrocephalus, wherein the liquid that cushions the brain is overproduced to the point of gradually crushing the brain within the skull.
I hope he does more history videos, I actually prefer these over most of other newer videos
Can you do more videos outside of internet news? I really liked this video! :D
Gotta love all the educational videos he makes, mostly the "this animal should go extinct" series
"Everyone says he's really dumb, but his advisors say he's capable"
That sounds a lot like a certain modern leader I can think of.
As someone with hemophilia ive never heard it said that way
Mommy said it a strong chin for a strong boy!!
-Oversimplified
I recall hearing that King Tut was actually a good ruler, or at least Egypt was doing okay at the least during his reign.
those family trees are vines.
We need more history videos from spatnz!
I once saw an SCP that was basically "What if Charles II of Spain had had children" and it was basically Sawney Bean's clan in royalty cosplay.
I love the chaos in the habsburg family.
The fact that the family tree has 3 separate "Uncle & Niece" branches is insane lmfao
The throne of andy ans leyley
yess
7:37 so your telling me a long time ago, the UK “MAY OF” had their own irl version of the hills have eyes. 😦
First of all there is little reason to consider Alexander "Sawney" Bean a real person due to the lack of contemporary records, even from active historians and chroniclers of the time.
Second that legend was literally the inspiration for "The Hills Have Eyes".
do you plan on making more videos like this? not gonna lie it was pretty damn good and would love to see more
So bascilly... King Charles is human version of the pug.
The thumbnail got me cracking 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should've taked about zoroastrian's and the whole concept of "Xwedodah" and how it's considered divine to marry your sister, mother, and *GRANDDAUGHTER...*
Frankly, I don't think that is practiced now.
Also the fact that Zoroastrians nowadays only comprise of a few hundred thousand people.
Zoroastrianism is interesting... though note that all relevant monarchs I'm aware of in Iran are birthed from unrelated concubines, so they aren't really inbred (although they probably practice incest)
We waited 4 days for this bruh
Even with all of this, there's still Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty and how Nicholas II's son Alexis having hemophilia was the main reason the Russian royal family made friends with Rasputin. Another fun fact: the word "mausoleum" originates from King Mausolus's tomb (the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), which was ordered to be constructed by his sister/wife.
I didn't know that the Crimson Chin was a Habsburg
Wrong!
Crocker: The nega-chin!
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.

Hey great vid but slight correction. It’s Habsburg jaw not chin
What is this sudden historical interest? Most random video
Was not expecting a history lesson from here, I'll tell you that
yay, back to the old format again. filled with funny images and memes and not simply gameplay.
The Habsburg royal family is actually still alive one of their descendants even has a twitter(X) account which I actually follow, cuz it’s funny following a Habsburg on twitter
This is a weird thing to bring up.
Is my trash funny channel turning into an educative channel?!?! Love it btw lol
I love how Western Europe is like: "yeah, marrying your sibling is ok, totally normal"
And then, there is Eastern Europe that has stories and legends that say how everyone and everything you love will DIE if you marry your cousin😂
and now western europe is rich and eastern europe is poor.. maybe it is a good idea after all
@@cloudyfromtpotreal yeah right
