mine too
The most Habsburg Habsburg to ever Habsburg.
true!
Dani Wood my favorite part
"Don't marry blood relations...For seven generations."
Fair advice, I'd say.
Actually its six
@@ryujinxyyeji that makes it even better advice.
Cirrect.
Correct, "Do Not Marry relatives to the 7th genetation."
Charles II: His family tree was a wreath.
haha that's a great description
Lol
Every part of this comment was perfect.
I had a friend whose girlfriend described her family tree as "more of a bush".
So accurate! 😂👍
This video, prime example of how to make history not boring. Wouldn't mind more!
indeed
Christian Andersen do you make nursery rhymes?
"Lover of massive dresses-- probably not a lover of where her life was going." Relatable, honestly.
massive dresses are awesome
I've never related more to anything Jessica has said before. XD
Yes!!!! I would buy all of that merch.@Sarah Hamilfan
That was the best line in the video. I loved it💜
Sounds like the life of a drag pageant queen
Don't marry your cousin. Not even for the throne of Spain.
yeah seriously!
@@annaswanson5903 my culture doesn't mind marrying your cousin. But you uncle, now that's taboo as hell. I knew their blood tree was weird but I never knew it was that convoluted. I thought it was just cousin marriage and was perplexed for a while because it's not a problem in my country. Turns out it was much much worse.
@@hajarmdn4883 actually there have been lots of problems with cousin marriages especially when there have been multiple generations of cousin marriages the same thing happens as what happened to the king.
you lose genetic diversity within the gene pool and recessive genes are more likely to come up as cousins share a set of grandparents
@@hajarmdn4883 If you only marry 1st cousin to 1st cousin in many successive generations, though, you raise the likelihood that the gene pool will shrink and contain many duplicate recessive genes that otherwise would be phased out over time. The gene pool shrinks more quickly with niece-to-uncle or nephew-to-aunt marriage because of the statistical likelihood that the niece or nephew shares more genes with their parent's sibling, but simply turning to just 2nd cousins (or even 1st cousins one generation removed) the chance of compounding recessive genetic problems actually drops to that of any random woman and random man within a generation or so. The mathematics are involved, but rather straightforward, and you can work them out using dog or cat traits (spots vs no spots, normal tail vs bob tail) as examples with Punnett Squares. Genetic diversity is VERY IMPORTANT! :)
don’t marry your aunt... even to be the ruler of the seven kingdoms
When the family tree forms a circle, you know you messed things up.
We learnt about Charles II in Biology. The Crimson Chin~
DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun ...Habsburg jaw..:
@@yama5182 If you and your sons inbreed with your cousins and nephews... Of course the most primitive recessive genes will manifest. Maybe your greatgrandkids would have ... joe. :).
Thank you so much for watching! Let me know which historical figure you'd like me to profile next...
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard William Wallace and Robert the Bruce!
Keep up the amazing work, Jessica 💕
How about someone from the United States?
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard love your work!! Palsy Twins!!
thanks for the note, so thoughtful
Well I sure do love a history lesson from my favourite out of century gay gal❤️🌎👑💁♀️
same
I read this as gal pal at first
"[...] completely baffled Christendom by continuing to live." That's why favourite quote to come out of this.
When your family tree is just a branch.
double relatives marrying more double relatives ... so glad this is illegal where I live
@@annaswanson5903 where is it illegal and can you explain further what you mean by that?
@@minksrule2196 its illegal in a lot of the 1st world, as in you can't obtain a marriage license and any children you have are so likely to have genetic diseases most ppl abort them to protect the child from a miserable life or early death
@@Natalie-101 but I live in australia and it's legal here, if it is illegal elsewhere give me a specific example, don't just assume it is
I love these history videos, I feel like I wasn't wasting my time on TH-cam for once 😜👌
she makes it a lot more fun and less dry than my textbooks
The most Habsburg Hapsburg to ever Hapsburg. Greatest sentence ever.
so witty
Please cover how Victoria’s descendants just basically took over Europe. Or perhaps how Napoleon eventually had family throughout European royalty.
yaas and plz also link it to howVictorias offspring spread hemophilia among the royalty of Europe
And lycanthropy according to Doctor Who
@@emmapaley9352 Yes!
For a lot of the video I kept thinking, "how is she not bothered by that beautiful wave of hair flopping into the corner of her left eye? It would drive me nuts if I kept seeing it bob in and out of view no matter how pretty it looks." But then I remembered you're blind in that eye 😅
Charles IV was horrifically unfortunate. I mentioned him and Julius Cæsar, another ruler with epilepsy in a class I was teaching on living with epilepsy. But I must say... “The Habsburgiest Habsburg that ever Habsburged” made me spit coffee.
I feel the same way
Wow Jess it's amazing how you suddenly develop fluent Spanish like that ;)
And a perfect Valencian accent!
I'm here so fast damn, I love history and I'm gay, this video is a treat
indeed
me too!
Beautiful
If you wish to continue the madness that is incest (and the corresponding genetics) you could make a video on King Tutankhamun
I've been reading this book called "When Women Ran the World." It's about 6 female pharaohs/regents. One of the biggest factors that end a dynasty is sterility through SEVERE inbreeding. It kinda makes me feel icky that humans have been turning to inbreeding for thousands of years.
it's actually not too common because most people have a natural instinct against it ... royals did it to preserve wealth and status
@@annaswanson5903 I thought people have a natural instinct towards it. I reckon people only have an instinct against it because it is seen as taboo in western culture. It is still very common in some parts of the world and it's pretty normal in my culture (cousins only though, not uncles and nieces etc).
@@annaswanson5903 It's actually proven that you are more likely to be sexually attracted to people that are DNA related when they have not been raised in the same family. F.i. children given up for adoption falling in love with their half siblings without their knowledge of the genetical connection or children from the same sperm donor falling in love.
@@naamahnotorious955 yes I've had experience with this. I once met someone who I was automatically attracted to like there was some sort of big connection between us and then I found out we were first cousins (and he was already married).
@@minksrule2196 That must have been an upsetting experience... (especially finding out he was married already), your poor heart! Hope you had better luck in love lateron xxx
my favorite monarch finally being talked about! what a poor dude, totally screwed by his family (haha)
literally
I feel so bad for him omg
His family were screwing each other.
"The most habsberg, habsberg to ever habsberg" - I'm crying I'm laughing so hard
I love when you talk about history! You can hear the excitement in your voice. Also, the sarcasm is top notch!
agreed
If I had you as a history teacher back in school, I may have retained some of that information. I could listen to you speak for hours! You are very engaging 😊
she would make a great history teacher!
Me: Attractiveness?
Habs: Eh, doesn't matter
Me: Age?
Habs: Eh, what's that?
Me: Being RELATED?
Habs: Mhhh, sorry I was busy inbreeding 😁.
Me: Ok, what about being poor and infertile?
Habs: Nope, nope nopity, nope.
Me: Ummm ok uh how about you 1960s through 90s, what about same sex?
60s - 70s:
*Oh We cAn't hAVe ThAt*
I'm leaving a comment like this on every video of yours but I'm begging you to make a collab with Karolina Żebrowska!!
That'd be so cool!
You should do Christina the Queen of Sweden (a maybe Lesbian queen!) And as always this was a lovely video! :D
Yeah, she was lesbian. But they say that she was very intellectual.
She was intersex i think .
I am not a history person but I love these videos you do! You would be a great history teacher. You make history interesting and entertaining! Thank you! ❤
always love these videos
Hello beautiful! Have you seen the show Miss Fishers murder mysteries? It’s an Australian murder mystery series set in the 1920s. It’s on Netflix xxxx
thanks for sharing, I love MM's ... I'm totally going to add that to my watch list
Anna the Amazon it’s awesome. Glad you’ve found something to watch through my comment x
Oh, I love Phryne! Top notch show!
Oh, Phryne! It's a very good show
The odd thing about my home country is, it is perfectly legal to marry your cousin. I think I heard something along the lines of maybe the couple needs to have the approval of the family or something, but more distant relatives are a-okay to marry? Of course it still sounds weird to most people and they wouldn't consider their cousins that way, but the way I've heard some foreign people talking about family relations, that you can have exactly zero shared ancestry to be an acceptable partner, is a bit harsh to me. I mean, if I meet a person that I fall in love with, and it turns out we share a great-great-great-great-grandparent, I wouldn't really think it was something uncomfortable. If you're that distant relatives, you share basically no blood at all.
But yeah, I don't think my country is particularly incestuous, the cousin thing might be legal but it's still such a rare thing, it's just that we have been a very secluded country with a small population for a long period of history and have only in the last century started to open up, I guess? :D
Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I'm quite curious
Marrying your 1st cousin is perfectly legal in the US & UK, & not even that rare in the US, tho it's more common with ie Amish, fundamental Mormons etc. In the UK it's mostly South Asian families. Rather than outlawing it, governments try to educate people, but loads of kids are born with severe disabilities- a doctor in Pennsylvania specialises in treating a few diseases only found in Amish communities. So your country isn't unusual at all, imo!
To paraphrase Darth Vader: "The sarcasm is strong with this one...."
My brother has that on a shirt
That jawline was *sister* snatched - because it came from marrying brothers and *sisters*
haha that's an interesting way to convey the point, let's all make a pact not to marry relatives!
You should really host history shows
that would be very fun
I love this topic. You should do other people from history who had disabilities.
yes plz
I'm surprised there are no comments about Game of Thrones
same
Well theres yours!
Or....
SWEEET HOME ALABAMA!
Elly Fox Maybe because this is about actual history and not a fairy tale
Does Jessica watch it?
2:57 What about Anna of Hungary? :D So much genetic diversity :D :D :D :D
ugh, now we know what happens when you intermarry double relations for 7 generations ...
In fact, Anna of Hungary and her husband, Ferdinand I, were second cousins once removed. They were both descended from John II of Aragon.
So, everyone is related.
Absolutely love your history videos, you're an amazing teacher! Loved the "The most Habsburg Habsburg to ever Habsburg" line x
haha I feel the same
I once heard a quote that said Charles II was "a man murdered 200 years before he was born"
That's perfect!
To quote Eddie Izzard “ Because it's a bad idea when cousins marry.”
such a bad idea
his family tree is a ... CIRCLE ⭕️ 😂
Fun fact: this video totally saved me on my Giant European history test today in school! I never would’ve remembered the Habsburg model if I hadn’t watched this. So thanks Jessica for always having fun, cool, and educational videos, especially for a kid who loves history
Gorgeous woman with a brilliant mind
yeas!
and a kind and generous soul.
"our family tree had no branches, it grows straight up"
*cough* MOST OF EGYPTIAN ROYALTY
King Tut died at the young age of 19. For centuries people believed that King Tut died in battle but historians believe that his death was due to a poor immune system which was caused by inbreeding. Inbreeding was common in Egypt. Egyptians believed that they were God's and should marry other relatives to keep the blood line pure. King Tut had a curved spin, a cleft plate, clubed feet, dis formed hand and a high level of estrogen that caused him to have woman like breast.
Also up until the popularization of transportation a small colony of people who were mostly inbred lived in a remote mountains in Kentucky. Inbreeding somehow caused them to be born with blue skin. Of course modern medicine was able to turn their skin back to a normal color.
Wow! Thanks for the interesting information!
Wait, so King Tut was not a woman?
No Hatshepsut, Twosret and Cleopatra ruled as female pharaohs although only for a short time. Hatshepsut only became pharaoh because her husband died and her son was too young to rule so she ruled for him after her death however the Egyptian did there best to erase her ever being a Twosret was married by when her heir died she took his place but her rule either ended in civil war or her death. Cleopatra had to kill several of her relatives to get to the thrown and she finally did become pharaoh she got over thrown and exile. There are other women who ruled along with their husbands
Anne Lister please! I am obsessed with Gentleman Jack 😍

Sorry, I know this is horribly off topic, but is that the new Miss Candyfloss Bambina Regina dress? :)
it's gorgeous ! But because Jessica is wearing it, it really shows off the dress, the color, etc. Love it.
"I mean, I'm not inbred but I feel your pain." Thank you...I needed that laugh!
Jessica, I adore your channel and I really appreciate all of the love and work you put into it. Thank you for sharing your perspective, fashion, love of history, and parts of your life with us. Best wishes!

Indeed!
I always "loved" that Queen Elizabeth was the descendant of Queen Victoria through a George>Edward>George>Edward>(Victoria)
And her husband, Prince Philip, was the descendant of Queen Victoria through an Alice>Victoria>Alice>(Victoria)
all the Royals are related, maybe that's why they have finally allowed their heirs to marry people who are not Royals
The right video to stumble upon after playing some Crusader Kings
haha right!
This is my day off from school but YES HISTORY LESSONS YES PLEASEEE
her history lessons are not like the ones I had in sister
I didn't know any of this so thank you. All I knew was that the Habsburg were severe,y inbred and that was so this very interesting
It's more interesting when she tells the story than when I read about it in school :)
Ordinarily, a person will have 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, and 16 great-great grandparents, for a total of 28 separate individuals. Charles II of Spain, had a total of 9 separate individuals. And it's even worse than that. You have 64 great-great-great-great grandparents as separate individuals. Charles II had just 32. Back two more generations and from a possible 254 ancestors, he had just 82. Multi-generational inbreeding is a very bad idea.
Thank You, that makes it even scarier and shocking.
Jessica I really enjoy these videos!!! Wonderful job as always!!☺️☺️☺️❤️
same
It's stuff like this that makes people's shock with Game of Thrones so odd. Inbreeding was quite historic among royals. Adds to the realism. Especially with the latest relationship.
yes, they (Royals) are!
You missed your calling...you could be a history teacher...you make it so facsinating!!
Indeed
The moment Habsburg was said I new we where in for a time. Nothing good comes when they are mentioned.
Wait but I can still swallow with my mouth open and tongue down. My mom can't, but I can.
I can too! Otherwise, great video
I
I have to curl my tongue down to do it.
Yea if you have a small mouth your tongue usually closes it enough to swallow
I love learning about history! This was a great video. On an unrelated note, I needed to take a screenshot of another tab, and seeing "Royal Inbreeding Gone Wrong!" in the screenshot makes me giggle
the title is awesome!
“This is history what were you expecting, for a woman to get her way?”
Great video! History has some very odd families, eh? For your next historical figure, could you highlight someone who used prosthetics? I can't remember any names specifically, but I know there were awesome prosthetic users in days past! Maybe one of the first Special Olympic athletes? Regardless, I look forward to your next video!
That's a really good idea Britt!
For the love of everything please please please post a tutorial for this do!?
PS super informative video, I love it but I’m sorry I can’t stop staring at your fabulous hair.
yeas! Your hair looks so good!
I absolutely LOVED this! Then again, you ARE an Aquarius as I am and a lot of us tend to favor these types of info mediums. 😍😍😎
Great history lesson, thank you! Always love your videos
same
Charles II was literally his own first cousin. 🤮
I love your historical videos because you present them in a way that I rarely see! Very easy to follow and always witty, thanks! 💛
same
You make this more interesting than my lecturer does...
Do Akhenaten and Nefertiti! Possibly Marfans? Definitely inbreeding! Also, maybe trans? Was Nefertiti also Neferneferuaten? Also, King Tut and Ankhsuamon, also inbreeding! Also, ~*~WeIRd ReLigIOn~*~ ooooh!
Great video! Considering I watched a Dr. Phil episode yesterday about a pair of first cousins who legally married in one state and are fighting to make it legal across the country, this video is especially useful as to why that's such a bad idea. They complete discounted all of the potential health risks for their future offspring as being comparable to a woman over forty having a baby. Completely disregarding scientific facts. Also, I loved the Spanish-language voice overs from Clara.
in the US there are a few states where you can marry your first cousin and the rest of us find it bizarre ... but hey, not judging, just saying
Any episode of that jerk's show is a bad idea!
Shala Carter Totally agree, but when your grandma controls the TV, you don't question it.
I know British and U.S. sign languages aren't the same, but a video on Galludet (sic?) would be welcomed. Or Louis Braille. I love people who produce long-term aids for their disabilities.
That's a good idea! If anyone is watching and wants to learn more about Galludet here is a link to the info page about the University en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallaudet_University
It's weird how, at least in the 90s, they thought it wasn't dangerous for cousins to have children together. I wonder if this video means that Jay Leno is related to the Habsburgs?
That is an excellent question!
Jwb52z apparently it is not much more dangerous for cousins but once it is repeated for multiple generation it becomes as issue.
... He did voice the Crimson Chin...
So I'm going through this and realized it's the same family as Cathrine of Aragon and Mary I....Cathrine escaped the incest but Mary married a family member as well. Luckily they never reproduced but damn that incest was strong.
This video reminded me of question I had for a while but don't know how to research it and since you love history maybe you can help - how a prince from one country and let's say a princess from another country that would get married for politic reasons could communicate if they spoke different languages ? They always had a translator ? They were proficient in all languages of the nations that were allies for diplomacy reasons ? What?!?!?! How did they communicate ?!??!?!?!
Please do not quote me on this, but I believe at one point French was the common language of the royalty.
I just started watching Versailles this week and I am obsessed!! I love a good historical drama!
I'll have to watch it
I've never cared about history but you make it so enjoyable. Love it!
agreed
I am so tempted to ask for a joke-serious "royal history" video on the Targaryens (who, let's be real, would IRL be albino & suffer horribly anywhere with extensive sunlight).
BUT since April Fools has been and gone, I'd be keen to learn of any asian royals with disabilities. I know of queer asian royals (Ottoman, Chinese, etc) but cross-referencing British Imperialism against translated-to-english accounts make it difficult to match up TIMELINES (different calendars) let alone whereabouts cultural discrepancies fail to pick up on or outright censor/exaggerate events.
Pre-Colonial India, maybe? Does the UK teach much history on the Indian subcontinent?
As much as I love all of your content, the history episodes are definitely my favourites. You have such an elloquent and enthralling delivery of what would usually be harder to digest. Thank you for sharing your interests so enthusiaticly.
her voice control and delivery are top notch. She talks without error and in an almost "lilting" way. Magic.
Hi Jessica!!! I'm watching fron Venezuel, I have a suggestion, you could do a video on King Wilhelm II of Germany who was tortured from childhood because of a disability.... The "treatments" were awful to say the least.
Stephen Hawkings, would be interested innhearing what you woukd have to say. Tried Google seaching "famous disabled person historical" ✅ on famous, ✅ disabled, person is not really needed, historical... Oh my does Google even know what that means? Or do website pages don't know? I want to see someone born before the invention of the Camera! Anyone who "came up with" signing (Charles-Michel de l'Épée or others), Louis Braille. Off topic, your favourite Signs (I am sure "I love you Claudia" is a top one!) Memory loss (watched your vudeo on it last night) and learning, how does learning new things affect you? Semantic, episodic, declaraitive and procedural memory? (as I believe your vudeo covered a lot about implicit and explicit, but those aren't the only types of memories that reminded me if Highschool Psychology (brains are fascinating! Waiting for spelling update for brain to happen as I don't want to miss spell something here.)
This was great.
You're great.
I wish I had discovered your work much earlier in my life.
Hi I love your video and I myself am absolutely fascinated by English history with all the monarchs am love the 5 major queens we pretty much are all familiar with and hear about Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots (Not a fan of Mary Tudor aka Bloody Mary), Queen Victoria, Queen Anne and Queen Elizabeth II. On the topic of inbreeding could u possibly do a video on why they couldn't marry Lords, Dukes or Earls from other countries instead of basically only royal family members such as princes and princesses. I get why of course because of alliances, having armies to back them up, money and connections, but you would think that after 50 years of royal families interbreeding and inbreeding with one another and having so many children die or not survive infancy or so many children die young because of genetic problems then surely they would have thought hmm "maybe I shouldn't marry my daughter off to my uncle or her first cousin" hmm...….
Anyway I'm fascinated and absolutely love this stuff and no else in my family or circle of friends is the slightest bit interested and tbh doesn't really give a rats ass (boohoo), so I love your channel and please keep posting!!
The fact that I can swallow with my mouth open and tongue flat scares me. I blame post-nasal drip making constant swallowing necessary.
Annnd I blame that post-nasal drip and most of my other medical issues on my great grandfather/great-great uncle.
They weren't royal, just too lazy to leave the woods for dating. >_>;;;
I love the show Versailles!! Wish it could've been continued. Also enjoyed Merlin, the movie Marie Antoinette, & Queen Mary the series. I know the time periods have nothing to do with each other but I associate these types of shows/movies together. Yes I feel ignorant & yes I've tried to educate myself but I simply just get confused between the bunch🤷🏼♀️ oops...

Ironically, Charles 2 of Spain had one thing in common with Charles 2 of England; no legitamate heirs. Our Charles 2 had around eighteen illegitamate children but no children with his wife.
This has me cracking up! Great video, hilarious quips, wonderful lesson 💖
agreed
Thank you for this highly disturbing history lesson. It's a nice distraction from my life. I found out yesterday that my state has denied me disability benefits for the final time and I now have no choice but to go back to work.
can you appeal?
Are you in America? Have you contacted a lawyer?
@@shalacarter6658 I am in America. And this was my final go at it with a disability specialist lawyer. ☹
Well not technically disabled just differently able but Harriet Tubman who had epilepsy
Honestly, I feel like giving birth to Charles II was an elevated form of child-abuse. When the incest is that high, please don't breed. Have the love affair and all you want, but please don't breed with each other
Love your history videos!! They are both funny and informative 😂
idea, but this one was definitely my all-time favorite!
I clicked on so fast cause I love you so so much ❤️❤️❤️
same
awesome video! i couldn't help myself and almost spat out my breakfast laughing at some points. poor Charles II
I didn’t get much English history in school (hi I’m American), so this was some good insight :)
Let's not forget that Teddy and Eleanore, though well loved were also cousins, this whole ruling elite & marrying your own sousing, though arguably more common in Europe is not solely a European thing
I love this video I think of it often, actually. Here's why: I loved the phrase "the most Habsburg Habsburg to ever Habsburg." But also, in small bits there is a slight vibe of disability hierarchy and/or disparaging certain conditions. I found it jarring in this video, because I know you are aware of/have mentioned the hierarchy of disabilities in other videos, so I'm certain you never intended this vibe to be here. But that might be something to watch out for in how you frame things.
As always, I love your videos and they bring me calmness, joy, and geeky goodness. I'm so glad you're here. :)
You missed your calling...you could be a history teacher...you make it so facsinating!!
she would be a great history teacher!
i got an ad to sign trump's birthday card before this video. what the fuck is wrong with 2020
It's actually not surprising that the women in the dynasty were healthier than the men because the second X chromosome makes it more likely to avoid disorders caused by defective genes
This video came at a great time. Finals are starting so the stress is building but your videos always make me smile. Thank you for making content and for helping me chill out. And it's really great to learn some history in an interesting way.
I feel the same way!
Deafula [rolls eyes] is a 1975 horror movie done completely in American Sign Language
I'm so happy you did a video on this family! I love looking into disabled historical figures as well since I'm a disabled person and a cultural anthropology major. Would you be interested in making a video about Vincent Van Gogh and his depression? I think a lot of people need to see the importance of mental illness and learn to separate this idea that depression fuels creativity, or that one must be sad to create art. I've heard many people say that his talent came from sorrow and I hate this idea that people with mental illness need to be mentally ill to be creative. Horrible stigma.
What an excellent idea and a great point!
