Indeed!!! As a nurse I cared for handicapped individuals. Some were frightening looking at first sight. Most of the individuals I cared for were very sweet. A couple were quite the opposite and did scare at sight and behavior wise.
I genuinely feel sorry for Charles II. He is probably the most mocked king in history, but he could not have impacted how he was born or who were his parents. If the mockery is this bad now, imagine how it must have been to him while he was living.
Unfortunately, schadenfreude, or feeling pleasure for other peoples' misfortune, is such a common human emotion that most global languages have a word for it. (We English-speaking folk even imported the German word.) You are so kind, to go beyond that and empathize with the unfortunate Charles II and others in the Hapsburg family.
5:50 Nurse here. If women were given "copious amounts of alcohol" to produce male heirs, it doesn't surprise me that many of the children didn't survive. With the intake of alcohol during pregnancy, the foetus (fetus) will acquire fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) which can cause miscarriage, stillbirth and preterm birth as a complication. Those infants born with the condition often have a much reduced life expectancy. The symptoms of FAS in living children are things like craniofacial abnormalities, short height, low body weight, small head size, poor coordination, behavior problems similar to ADHD, learning and speech problems along with Intellectual disabilities. Considering that these symptoms pretty much define the Habsburg physical deformeties as well as the intellectual disabilities, I'm surprised that no one has ever made this connection to the attributes of the family itself. So much is the very definition of them!
My name is Logan. Choad Logan. While decorum dictates a degree of discernment, I can say I have provided chickenhawk services and training in deep fluffery to elite members of various royal familes.
Would I rather be a medieval king? Or the lower middle class American in the early 21st century that I am? No question. My life has been better than any medieval king could dream of. So even though I covet that rich lifestyle to a degree, I wouldn't trade with a medieval king for anything.
Medieval royal culture seems downright distopian. Maybe it's just because I'm viewing it through a modern lense, but the lifestyle and practices of the very wealthy and powerful of that era just seem so yucky to me. It gives me the same feeling as watching My Strange Addiction or other reality shows with questionable ethics. It's just gross and upsetting. Hard to believe that was just the thing for a thousand years or so.
It’s exactly as you think it is, you’re viewing it through a modern lens. I’m sure the people 100 years from now will look at some of things we do and think of us as disgusting or questionable.
@@hildahilpert5018 Both the Spanish and Austrian branches (the main ones) are extinct, the Habsburgs that live today are actually Habsburg-Lorraine, a secondary branch
I used to live next door to the Habsburgs. They let their dogs run wild throughout the neighborhood and when someone went over to their castle to complain, nobody could tell which Habsburg was the head of the household.🤣🤣🤣
Poor Elizabeth!! If they'd just let her alone she'd probably have had children sooner and better. Hearing of women treated as baby machines makes me a little ill, and very grateful. It's still going on in the world and thank all the gods I don't live there. Thanks for another pithy video. Your upbeat narration is a digestive aid for this awful information.
They weren't treated as baby machines. Like men, they had specific roles to play in society, one of which was motherhood. Unlike today, motherhood was valued highly.
That would be the Lorraine Hapsburgs, a cadet branch who ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire and had the good sense to stop marrying their blood relatives. It's the Spanish Hapsburgs who did all the inbreeding and died out as a result.
@@Sorcerers_Apprentice Yeah, but they really only stopped after WW1 when they lost power. There was Franz Ferdinand, but things didn't go well for him. So they likely only stopped when they lost the power. Otherwise, they wouldn’t stop regardless
Inbreeding was only a nobility thing and most of people who came to North America from Europe at first were persecuted protestant fanatics who hated anything what would make a person happy or make person have fun and later poor or criminals went to Americas
What's really scary is that portrait painters tried to be as flattering as possible. That means the real people looked even worse.
Charles the Second probably looked like sloth from the goonies

dont feel too bad he legitimately probably didnt understand being made fun of anyway
nah they were fs nice to his face at least so they didnt get executed
Feeling bad for royalty is shocking to me.
Who cares?

Interesting I wonder if FAS combined with the inbreeding just doomed the family
Diddy has those features
Whenever you might think your family is a tad messed up, just look at the Habsburgs, and you should feel better. Lol.
I thought it was a P ? In name.
I did too, until I saw the title and had to edit my post. Lol.
@@restock_1731 glad I'm not alone anymore than I am...
If you look at Tutankhamon and his lineage, the Habsburgs look pretty normal by comparison.
Ohh i don’t know, i just don’t know love.
I just started watching these videos earlier and now I'm obsessed
Thank you. Your work and voice is medicine. For me at least.
The Habsburgs didn't have a family tree, they had a family wreath
Brilliant video!😀👍👍❤️
The lengths some people go to hold on to power...
Prince Andrew has done his best to spread the royal seed about.
He's such a chad.

It's a Royal tradition.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
More like selfish loser tradition… the jews and muslims do the same shit « preserve blood » « preserve money »😂😂😂
Subscriber no. 128 here 🤘Thank you for another informative video! Cheers.
The habsburgs taught me 'double first cousins' xD it still haunts me
Jamie and Cersi Lannister come to mind
Thank You.

there are still habsburgs alive...they are not extinct
He,s referring to the Spanish branch of the Hapburgs .The Austrian branch, the main line is still alive today.
@@hildahilpert5018I'm guessing that the bloodline purity phase died out and they're not interbreeding anymore, if the main bloodline still exists
@@hildahilpert5018 Both the Spanish and Austrian branches (the main ones) are extinct, the Habsburgs that live today are actually Habsburg-Lorraine, a secondary branch
Playing Crusader Kings 2 right now and rethinking some marriage proposals 😅
Yay! My favorite era
I used to live next door to the Habsburgs. They let their dogs run wild throughout the neighborhood and when someone went over to their castle to complain, nobody could tell which Habsburg was the head of the household.🤣🤣🤣
I went to hs with a guy that literally had this jaw. Had to have surgery, came from a well off family, and everything.
Ah! My favorite royal family!
Great video! Can you please tell me the song that plays in the section "The creator"?
Thank you !
How can someone contact you for partnership deal?
Another great video. Twas the fashion at the time. Got to keep the bloodline pure,whatever
Beauty is "only" seen in the eyes of the beholder which proves many of these people must have been blind!!!
“targaryans wed brothers and sisters for generations to keep bloodlines pure”
GOT 2011
Video on Maria Theresa?
Very interesting, thank you.☺
Niccolini is the last person I would ask for a referral.
my Boxer dog actually had that defect
Alea bella gerant, tu felix Austria, nube! ☝️😌

@@apebass2215
Yeah, in theory, but in practice they were made into baby machines, albeit usually under drastic circumstances.
You sound a lot like Qxir. I could've mistaken you as the same person
Not on 23rd pair for them tho.
They certainly weren't chinless wonders
i thought it was HAPSburg...
Hawkcastle is way too hard of a name for those deformies lol
Slow down there son, your great great great great great great great ancestors were deformities too. Stop insulting your family.
The medichi on the other hand went lgbt...
I think you can trace their ancestry back further to Guntram The Rich. 😊
They aren't extinct.

Well this is gross.
And their sisters weren’t even hot
I bet they preferred having sex with lights off or with closed eyes.
Bruh
Jesus fucking Christ.
@@h0rriphicI guess that is incest as well yeh
Habsburg jaw 🫱🫲Windsor Ear/hairline
Solid eyebrow and 3 rows of teeth.
Still breast feeding at 4 years old??
You know, we shouldn't be surprised that Alabama is the way it is, considering most of its inhabitants came from Europe.

loll
Where did the other states' most inhabitants come from?
🫢
So much of being following Jesus
Jesus loved everyone he might have given Mary one tbh?
They certainly weren't chinless wonders
