Seems like they understood the dynamics of inbreeding to avoid serious disfigurement and illnesses by going so far away in blood but yet staying in to a degree. That's insane.
@@SundayCookingRemix we all have some disease or heritage born illness especially in our blood. Seriously who doesn't. What you think tribes and clans didn't commit incest. What they just secluded themselves from everyone and magically pulled a non relative vagina to impregnate.
@@MortalFaces Also agreed! This is one of THE best family trees I've seen, & I've seen & drawn a LOT. It must've taken a hell of a lot of work, & it's excellent; really easy to follow!
I know for a fact that she married her cousin to begin with, so inbreeding is not questionable already. What I didn’t know was that Kate and William being distant cousins only because media painted her as a “commoner”. But then again, the did the same with Diana when she married Charles even though Diana came from the Spencer family.
Straight up because Diana was "illegitimate" on one side of her tree and she wasn't so obedient, therefore not as loyal which is bad if you aren't related entirely. Then she was killed. Goes to show how badly they want to keep that inbred lineage. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to Kate if she has any illegitimacy in her lines.
@@QueenDavid95 It’s not incest to marry a distant cousin. I am a genealogist and you’d be amazed how many married people find out they are related and didn’t even know it
@@VanetaRogers1 that’s different than knowing nd still reproducing with yo relatives . Aunties uncles daughters in shii . Nah Dets nasty . But I definitely understand yo point of view
It's the main thing I envy the Royals for, the fact that they can trace their ancestry back so far. It's actually fascinating to see how our future King and Queen William and Kate are in fact related to one another. One could almost believe that such arrangements have a degree of planning to keep things in the family as it were.
I was able to trace my family In England up to 1442 my dad is basically a basic lol my mom is mixed black and Latina so that makes me somewhat different 😂
@@seefoodbites wth that's impressive, my knowledge of my ancestry doesn't even stretch to the 19th century. it doesn't help that my ancestors have been colonized so many times, and lots records were destroyed
Have you checked out some of his other videos? This is pretty tame. Some of these people are so distantly related that they basically are not related at all
Impressive research. Just a suggestion: there's a thing called quociente of inbreeding. It's a number that quantifies how inbred a person is. I think if you could incorporate that for some key characters in this family trees, it would make it more interesting
Busted Helena ... It was all that interbreeding that gave a good rise to my penchant for exaggeration a dash of confabulation there. The seafaring Barons bastards is true . ... Nor will you ever find me on the Manly Ferry. Nor any Convicts .But my Father went to sea selfishly dying when was 13 leaving me here on the wrong side of the sheets. But informing me he'd won WW2 all by himself. As for my contributions to inbreeding. As I was there I know 1. The mould was broken after me. My father had no Jewish relatives nor relations. Too busy running around Central Europe .
We were lead to believe Kate Middleton was just a “Normal person” he met at uni and now find out they’re in the same family tree and cousins 😆 life is an endless lie
Pretty much all Anglo-Saxons have some kind of noble or royal ancestor if you go far back enough. She is a commoner in the fact no-one in her close family holds any peerage titles. You have to go back quite a bit to find a noble ancestor.
I called it bs when I found out how prestigious the school is where they've met. Normal person my 🍑, she's top tear bourgeoisie. If a royal runs away with an aldi cashier I'll be impressed.
Would love to see a video with Genghis Khan's imprint on the world someday, lol. A lot of people could probably trace back to him in some way or another
Gengish did have a lot of children, but if he had that many no one knows. They’ve never been able to confirm that he’s really the progenitor of all this dna, and some dna tests of his supposed relatives living today suggests he might not be. But the sad thing is that we don’t have access to his remains for conclusive dna testing. He’s mostly the prime suspect because historians and scientists don’t know who else would have the opportunity to go at it like he did. There’s an interesting video on this topic that you can find here on youtube
That was my first thought when my mom's DNA revealed a tiny percentage of "manchurian/mongolian", even tho she is 98 percent Irish. And a tiny percentage of Italian... since the Roman Empire stretched all the way to Hadrian's Wall, my assumption was... somewhere a Roman soldier, in addition to a soldier of Genghis Khan... most likely rape. Just how things were back then...
My mom managed to trace her mom's line up to King Edward III as well! And to James I, II, III and IV of Scotland. We branch off when King James IV had a baby with a mistress named Isabel Stewart. My mom's parents are related about 14 generations back, and her mom's mom's parents are also related about 14 generations back. It's wild, so tangled and hurts my brain. I'm the 17th generation away from King James IV so I guess I'm a micro-percent related to the queen! I'm as far away from King James IV as Prince William's kids!
I’m related to the Queen because: I’m related to the Qutb Shahs who are related to the Mughal’s(the Mughal’s are also related to Gengish Khan and the Afghan Monarchs. Keep in mind that Gengish Khan is also related to the Qing Monarchs and Korean Monarchs). The Mughal’s are related to Safavid’s because Aurangzeb married Dilras Banu Begun who comes from the Safavid dynasty. Abbas the Great married two people who were related to the Georgian Monarchs(Bagrationi dynasty). The Bagrationi’s stem from Charlemagne and he is related to every Monarch in Europe and some US Presidents.
@@lizlevins4908 Huh? Its not sad its super cool to a) be able to trace your ancestry that far back and b) to be related to prominent historical figures.
If we could all trace our family histories as detailed as the British royalty and aristocracy can, we'd probably all see that we are related too. Up until the Industrial Revolution people stayed pretty close to home in towns and villages their entire lives.
Hopefully not 👀 but I get what you mean, I'm a total contradiction according to our history, I'm Spanish, black and native Navajo... I mean I'm sure looking any direction is going be 🤦 somehow lol
This is actually what I spotted in Denmark. There are areas here where you can see people are quite look alike or having weird looks like short hand, extreme oval face, terrible oversized dental deformations etc.
Exactly. There are over 100 million people of British ancestry around the world. 200 years ago there were less than 10 million. If you go back another 500 years maybe 2 or 3 million. All Britons alive now descend from them. Our national family tree would be as tangled as this.
Only winners write history , has nothing to do with these three , it says enough how they created there position by killing and plundering the world . Wipe them out till the root ,thesepeople are the Evil of today !
So if I’m looking at the tree correctly, Elizabeth II isn’t THAT inbred simply for the fact that her Mother’s (The Queen Mum) line was outside all the royal intermarriages stuff for like 600 years. Right?? 🤷♂️
depends on what you consider as more or less inbred. She is more inbred than the average person I’d say, but not to the extent when we compare it with other royal families.
Those non-royal marriages will be able to draw from a larger pool of eligible people. That said, the pool of people at a similar rank, who would agree to the marriage, who have unwed sons and daughters, whose sons and particularly daughters are considered an appropriate age, will still be very small.
@@lupine.spirit Really- want to bet how much "inbred" the average person is (going back 5 or 6 generations) if they have not moved outside of the county or area they were born in.
Considering that Prince Philip was both her 2nd and 3rd cousin, depending on the line, her children are more inbred than she is. Fortunately, the move away from royals only marrying other royals means that the Queen's grandchildren and great grandchildren are becoming increasingly less inbred.
The emphasis is always on inbreeding in royal (or aristocratic) families. But what about us commoners? If our ancestors lived in a small village in a not densely populated area, the pool of potential mates would be relatively small, even if there were other small villages within walking or riding distance. It's possible that most young people would marry in their own village or nearby ones that had much the same gene pool. So if they were able to trace their ancestors back more than a few generations, they'd be related, and probably via more than one marriage. Populations (particularly in rural areas) didn't become particularly mobile until well into the 18th century or even the 19th. And don't forget that in many countries there was still a feudal system (e.g., France) or serfdom (e.g., Russia) that tied rural populations to the land, so chances of finding a mate with no common ancestry were slim.
Seems a particularly common situation in the US where you get entire towns that were founded by literally a handful of people, and has since lead to widespread medical problems in many places. It's rough. I remember reading Iceland had a dating app which deliberately tried to avoid matching people too closely related because the population there is so low and interconnected.
Even today most aren't very mobile. I've seen so many girls marry guys that really were not as good looking as them or up to their quality. It seems a shame. I've seen it happen so many times.
I really appreciate the time frame references like when you said "think of hoop skirt or think of titanic" i struggle with history so it helps me have a image of the time line
This video does a good job at illustrating just how related Queen Elizabeth II's ancestors were, but honestly, this applies to everyone who can trace their ancestry back to these guys. Me included. I've traced my ancestry back to people like King Charlemagne, King John, and King Edward III through many different lines, way more times than I'd like to admit.
@Nicky L Yes. It's very easy given the resources I have. Plus, you know, everyone with a drop of European blood is a descendant of King Charlemagne.. so it's not uncommon.
@@augustuscaesar8287 we’re sort of related!! I can also trace back to Charlemagne. But there has also been some incest closer to the modern age, in the 1700s, marrying their cousin, but as far as I’m aware, it only happened twice
somehow you made this easy to understand!! I can't imagine doing research to understand it and then finding a way to explain it. This was really cool to watch.
One detail you missed was that Mary Queen of Scots married her first cousin Henry Stuart Lord Darnley and had James of dual numbers by him. Mary's father was James V of Scotland, who was the son of Margaret Tudor and her first husband James IV of Scotland. Henry's mother was Lady Margaret Douglas, daughter of the same Margaret Tudor and her second husband Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus.
How does one untangle such twisted family trees and understand it? It’s nothing short of amazing. I get lost within the first few mind boggling branches. 😂🌿🌱 This channel is so interesting not to mention fun. TY!
@@gailcurl8663 I came back because the Queen has just passed 💔🇬🇧 sadly, and I’m trying to understand the family tree again. But what if he COULD find their pets? 😂 I saw your comment and had to giggle. Lololo.
I am one of many thousands of people related to the Royal Family through my maternal line. My mother's mother was a Bowes-Taylor and (although many family members in South Africa later dropped the Bowes), we and the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, share common ancestors as I have seen on our family tree, which makes me and my children distant cousins of the royals. Glamis Castle in Scotland was a "family seat" and I was told by my mum when I was just a small child that there were so-called "monsters" locked up there (or hidden away in homes for the retarded/insane), all being the result of incest. In fact, my mother also told me it was rumoured that the Queen Mother herself was actually an illegitimate child, conceived from a staff member. Interesting stuff. I'd enjoy your input. (My family tree can easily be traced.)
Charles, the Prince of Wales, is 74 years old. He may very well die of old age before he ever has the opportunity to be the King. At her coronation in 1953 the crowds all shouted at Queen Elizabeth II "Long live the Queen!" over and over again. Apparently she took it to heart!
@@gailcurl8663 Exactly. They don't know how lucky they are to have gotten Diana, Kate and Meghan. New genes and much better looks for the next generation.
One can only hope....Charles is an adulterer, how do they square that with the fact that when he becomes King, he also becomes the head of the Church of England. Thought you couldn't do that in the church!
@@susaneves1980 I stand corrected! He was born Nov. 14, 1948. (You never look up what you think you already know!) But... my point still holds! Also you apparently typed this year's date using the wrong thumbs.
It’s pretty cool untangling family trees. I’ve been doing mine for several months now, and it’s even more weird to realize that I, some random gen x born and raised in Seattle, am related to these people. My great grandparents include the Cromwell, Seymour, Stanhope, Paulet, Beaufort, and other lines from the continent including Richard the Fearless.
@@vickiekay8317 I think it's kinda dope to keep records of that and see how it all ended with you. For example, I can't look up my family history, hell, my grandfather doesn't even know who his dad was, but I'd love to see exactly where my family came from and all that stuff
Wow. You are an incredible researcher. What a tangled web. My head was spinning half way through. I have always been fascinated by the histories of the British monarchies. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Mortal Faces, My jaw literally dropped when I saw how the Queen Mother was related to the English royal family through the Duchess of Devonshire. I had no idea. Here, I thought that George VI made a good non related match. Was I wrong! My jaw dropped finding out that William and Katherine are related too. I thought that she was just a nice commoner girl. Thank you for all of the time consuming detailed work that you do so that the rest of us don't have to. You are an amazing dude!
@@MortalFaces Wow, that's an interesting tidbit about M & H. Who knew? But, then again, Diana was distantly related to George Washington somehow. English and American relations are probably more common than we think.
...if you want very odd family connections: one of my many times great grandmas is distantly related to Winston Churchill because one of his grandmothers was a Hall.
We're all related somehow, I'm related to the Queens mother through the Earls of Cork. If you go back far enough you'll realize your parents are related too 🙃
A large proportion of the people of the UK are descended from royalty I have traced 3 separate lines from myself to King Edward III but that still makes me as common as muck
Hat's off to you my friend. I have a horrible headache just from trying to keep up you. I don't know how you do it. But I'm so glad that I don't have to do it.
These trees are interesting and all, but genetically, one isn't considered inbred unless your parents are more than 3rd cousins. If there is even one person of genetic variation somewhere along the line, that should take care of any recessive abnormalities. Because that is the only true downfall of inbreeding on a genetic level. A person doesn't become 'handicapped' only because their parents are related. It depends on the recessive genetic traits that continue to be passed along and expressed. Just because some ancestor from 500 years ago was related to my partner's, that doesn't make my supposed child inbred. Honestly, that's probably in all of our family trees. The only difference is that ours aren't recorded like the British royals.
You've learned nothing from this channel about how close Royalty is and the heakth problems it caused...Why do you think Haemophilia was such a problem to the Tsars? More Royalist apology...
@@jimbob-robob Hemophilia was not a problem for the Romanovs because of inbreeding. Ena of Battenberg and Alfonso XIII of Spain had two sons with hemophilia but were not at all closely related. Hemophilia is an X-linked trait that is passed on to the children regardless of who the carrier marries. Alexandra, just like her grandmother Victoria, mother Alice, sisters Victoria and Irene, aunt Beatrice, and cousins Alice of Albany and Ena of Battenberg, would have passed on the trait regardless of who they married. Hemophilia was brought into the family either because Victoria’s mother was a carrier, or, more likely, it was caused by a spontaneous mutation at her conception due to her father’s advanced age. Victoria would have had carrier daughters and sufferer sons whether she married Albert or some other obscure German prince or English peer. It’s the same with Alexandra. She would have passed on the trait to her children whether she married Nicholas or her cousin Albert Victor or some obscure prince. Incest only affects hemophilia when a carrier wife marries a male relative with hemophilia, which increases the odds of having a daughter who is both a carrier and a sufferer. I wish people would stop perpetuating the myth that incest caused hemophilia. It’s blatantly false. There is no case among Victoria’s descendants where a carrier female and a hemophiliac male married.
Exactly. My daughter was born with anomalies which the geneticist told us this happens in about 1 in 10,000 couples. He told us we carried the same recessive gene and if we went back 200 years, we would find we are related. We are 7th cousin we found out later when family members got into genealogy. However, that is true of everyone in the USA if your ancestors have been over here since 1600's or 1700's as mine and my husband's are. I only had one set of 2nd great grandparents who immigrated to the USA in the 1860's. Lol! through them I have 4th cousins In Ireland, England, Canada and Australia as they had some siblings who immigrated elsewhere. The rest of my ancestors started coming over here in 1609 through the early 1700's except for that one line. My husband's lines all were over here before 1750.
Actually, its not that inbred at all by European royalty and nobility standards ;) edit: we are all related if you go back far enough, but its difficult to trace back the lineage for most people. The royals are different in that their lines and marriages have been carefully recorded and traced for centuries. Then again, you have to take into account that there might have been possible adulteries, swapped children, imposters, uncertain paternity etc. that are not recorded in the official trees. I would love if it would be possible to do a comprehensive detailed DNA study of royals and perhaps their ancestors through samples taken from burials, so we could see who is descended from whom. :D
I always liked imagining that Elizabeth II was an immortal hive queen that could shape shift between human and spider form. Those Royal Grenadiers with the tall woolly hats are like her mindless worker droids and she can control them like puppets by moving her hands around. Her nest is obviously in Buckingham Palace where she watches over a swarm of insectoid children and occasionally one of them will pupate and transform into a 'human' form, and that's how you get Prince Harry and all the other royals. The publicly known 'royals' are actually all females, the males are drones and they become either the palace guards or they assimilate into real human society for whatever purpose the Queen has for them.
I once wrote a short story about Elizabeth II's immortal form floating around in space after the scorched earth of her motherland had been obliterated by a meteor, making her come to the realisation that her "forever" meant *forever.* Yeah, we'd get along great
Interesting how incest on such a scale can be found in the insect world with ants, termites, bumble bees, wasp and bed bugs to say the least. Also interesting how the whole western monarch social structure and the aforementioned insect social structures are identical. The monarchs of Europe often described themselves as possessing blue blood whereas all the above aforementioned insect groups also possess blue blood. Fascinating.
Blue blood? Royal? Nah. If someone was to hold up their forearm in the vein's look blue it means you don't work outside, more likely you don't work the land. Most of those working the land work for someone else, that someone else is inside not working and most likely well off.
Every culture has at one time had incest present in the families. The Europeans and Eurasian people aren't near as bad as religious cultures still present as well....like it's a real problem
Oh my gosh it's so complicated. You have done an amazing job mapping it all out and taking us through it all. Thank you. A lot of work must go into these videos. My mind boggles! 💕
Even though I followed about half of this video, I can give that like out of respect. I gave the like in the first 30 seconds tbh because I could recognize the effort you put in. TH-cam should have more people like that.
@@dineyashworth8578 wow and I was kidding. I'm 50 percent European. No British, I thought for sure I had british. I probably have Ireland cuz I had red hair as a baby and now my grandson has red hair coming in. I hope you brits and Ireland like American. Oh yes, I have ukraine and Poland as well
My husbands father, traced his family back to the 1500’s, it’s very interesting. My husband has 5 brothers and sisters. Each got a book of the genealogy.
So not THAT inbred, but still a fascinatingly tangled family tree. You're a saint for explaining it with visual aides I'd have no chance of understanding this otherwise.
Yes, they ARE THAT inbred! Why do you supposed they're all so homely till we get to William and Harry? How inbred do they have to be for you to consider them inbred--siblings? Or so they have to be as bad as the Hapsburgs? Sure sounds that way!
I did the Ancestry family tree for my family and got our familial crest, also found out that our ancestor was the one and only William the conqueror, his son actually. I was surprised how far back it went. We are French and Cherokee on my dads side and Danish on my moms, going to get the DNA test next to find out what exactly. My ex is also related to some cool historical figures and our son has been curious about it, hopefully can get the DNA test and the family tree and crest to show him soon. Stay safe out there everyone! Great video! From David & fam from Alaska!
The DNA thing is great at catching criminals . Some lady got her DNA done and it matched with DNA found at multiple murder scenes . They were able to check and see if she has family in the area of the murders and that’s how they caught one if biggest killers in history
I am very interested in this since I never new any of my grandparents but one grandmother, I know almost nothing about my maternal people. I know vaguely about the paternal side and that I am related to Edgar Allen Poe according to my uncle. I actually asked my bf to tell me about my people and he knew more than me or honestly more that I can manage to remember. I think I will ask for an ancestry test for christmas this year and books on Belgium. Probably one that can tell me my eye color too because I can't figure it out, they seem brown until you get close and they look amber and a decent part green; my perception of typical hazel eyes is that they appear more green or blue, and I think they definitely appeared more brown when I was little, almost black. I have been reading books about the area's history and gathering knowledge and documents for our medical history but it has been slow going. We have a genetic disorder, but nobody goes to the doctor unless they are dying and those who had severe cases have long since died, I have a mild case, because our familial mutation is unknown (because it is not a documented mutation my test was negative), the hospital records have been difficult to find so I was treated like I was weaving some psychotic tale when it is all true, but I was given 6 out of 7 points for diagnosis regardless. My maternal family is Belgian. Apparently we get our 50% tan skin from Spain, I assume at some point that is where it goes. It always bothered me my grandma would say my sister was NA when half my family has her skin tone. Even my mother knows little of our family since her mother died of an aneurism when she was 5. I plan on visiting her for the first time soon and bringing her lily of the valley flowers like my mom said she liked. Almost everything I know is second or third hand but this I know for sure.
This is so fascinating. As someone who shares the same interest, I couldn't imagine how much work was needed to put all of these together. Very very commendable job! You deserve a like and a new subscriber - me! hahaha PS: How I wish you have the same for Asian monarchies.
What a mess. These people were nothing more than pawns for their country. Love sometimes happened but not often. Women were supposed to produce a male heir if not, well not good. Science now knows that it’s the man that determines the sex of the child, but back then, the poor women sometimes lost their heads. It was a strange time in history. Great job explaining this family tree.
these are incredibly well made videos, for a moment I thought you were going to photoshop the queen's face so we can see what it would've looked like lol
So all kings from George I to Edward VII were German and all married women they were related to. The only break came with George VI who married a Scot which makes Elisabeth half Scottish, three-eights German and one-eighth Danish. Elisabeth herself reinforced the German Danish lineage by marring Philip who was not Greek by blood. William with an English mother will be the first king with mostly English blood since Henry VIII and as his wife is English George will be three-quarters English
Holy cow! First of all, I want to say what a mighty work, thank you! After that, what keeps going through my mind here, is something someone said to me many years ago: "I don't care how cute they are, if they qualify to attend your family reunion, they're off limits!" 😂
It would be interesting to see George Frideric Handel "alive", the composer related to George I, George II and Queen Caroline, since there is a significant number of portraits (from his 20th to old age) and since his music remains quite closely related to royal events (like all the coronations in UK since 1727).
@@philtastic4 Diana has 2 illegitimate children of Charles II as her ancestors. He doted on his children,and poured on them riches and titles. His descendants are prominent in British society until today.
well, even if only one of a child's parents are of royal blood, that is still significant. and if the other parent is of noble descent, then we can't _really_ talk about 'dilution' of royal blood or of the person importance/standing in society. on the other hand, yes all of the kings and queens had affairs left right and centre. no secret in that. HOWEVER the legitimacy of royal heirs was taken very seriously (still is) and even if the monarchs despised one another and had dozens of illegitimate (and often probably more adequate) children, it was their offspring that would be inheriting the throne. which is why so many brothers/cousins/aunties/uncles ended up taking the throne - the royal couple did not, for whatever reason, have a legitimate child to put on the throne, while the number or quality of the other children did not matter, as in the eyes of the law, they didn't exist. so the chances of ruling monarchs being in any way illegitimate are very low and they would count as the exceptions, not the rules.
They are related. They descended from descendants of Edward the third. Sir Philip Wentworth had a son Henry and and a daughter Elizabeth. Henry’s (Wentworth) line is part of Harry’s lineage from both Charles and Diana’s sides and Elizabeth’s is part of the Markle line.
Both the queen and her sister were gorgeous, and so was queen's husband. There's no guarantee kids of good looking parents will be good looking, inbred or not. Not to be mean, but look at some good looking celebrities' kids for proof. So I don't think your theory works.
12:50 Well we are all related somehow, if you go back to each persons set of parents and their parents you will end up with a pretty big number, that number is even bigger than the world population of the 1400s, therefore we are all related starting from the middle ages
There were a lot more cousin marriages back in the day than people realize. What’s true of the Windsors is true of most of us if not to such an extreme level.
@@januarysson5633 The idea goes like this: You can count your own ancestors by multiplying them by 2, like this 2->4->8->16 and taking the average of 20 years per generation, so each ancestor having kids at around 20. You keep multiplying your ancestors by 2 and deducting 20 from the year each time. The number of people end up with is bigger than the world population of the 1400s, so where are all those people come from? The answer is intermarriage and all different kinds of relations, which means we are all connected. There is a video somewhere on YT explaining this concept in detail.
Wow, your ability to break these family trees down, and the ease at which you then relay it on your video. There is no stuttering, no umms or even tripping over your tongue. Impressive. I truly respect and appreciate how much effort you would have to put into these 15min videos, yet its feels like you are just chatting to your neighbor about something truly simple. However do you think it is possible that these royal bloods are actually reptilians and perhaps reptilians can interbreed without huge genetic mutations. My thought process, as humans, we are taught you cant mess with your family, yet the way they keep it in the family, shouldn't they all be resembling elephant man by now. Just a thought. 🐘🤴🤣
There must be a meaningful way of calculating a valid numerical value for degree of "inbredness". If one is looking back 600 years, say 30 generations then one has up to about 1 billion ancestors, but the population of Britain only about 3 million 600 years ago - so clearly we're all "interbred" over that timespan. I am not convinced that Elizabeth II is in any meaningful sense "inbred".
Well the term "inbred" becomes very convoluted in these contexts. Technically, or rather genetically, they are "line" bred. Line breeding carries one set of genetics. And "inbred" carries two lines so lines of both parents. But to be truly inbred with no diluting lines they must be directly related (ie brother and sister) ie anything closer than first cousins, to have both sets of genetics. So even if there are two related lines, if no direct relationship for the parents it is line bred within a small gene pool, so interbred is a good description.
Absolutely. You only share 0.1% DNA with 6th cousins and only 0.8% DNA with your 7th great-grandparents. Also, you only share 3.1% DNA with a second cousin and 12.5% with a 1st cousin or great-grandparent. DNA is a crazy thing!
One word comes to mind!!! SCARY 😳, Royalty were well known centuries ago for inter marriage (keeping it in the family). Very intriguing to hear your theory
Thank you for sharing . Research can be time consuming and once again shown facts and professionalism while showing this presentation for all to understand . Very interesting we are actually living in a high society intermarriage . The question I want to know is why do they feel the attraction or legacy to do this practice or tradition , which ever it falls under as they see it ? I am assuming due to Royals only associate with Royals and not with commoners, makes it more logical in there circle .
This is the first video I watch from you. Well done, you are good at explaing the subject and the images you use are great. I am excited to watch more of your vidoes. This is a dream for us who are interested in history.
Incredibly distant cousins, more distant in fact than the average couple. The entire human race are cousins, the only alternative would be marrying animals or aliens

Actually Sophia was not. House of Unicorns. Born Knight Templars. Why would they eradicate us around this 🕙?
Seems like they understood the dynamics of inbreeding to avoid serious disfigurement and illnesses by going so far away in blood but yet staying in to a degree. That's insane.
“Boy i luv being ruled by ritualistic inbreds” - the British people (probably)
After centuries of experiments they got it dialed in. No doubt a few failed experiments along the way got disposed of.
Nope
Some had blood disease's
@@SundayCookingRemix some
@@SundayCookingRemix we all have some disease or heritage born illness especially in our blood. Seriously who doesn't. What you think tribes and clans didn't commit incest. What they just secluded themselves from everyone and magically pulled a non relative vagina to impregnate.
It’s amazing to me that you can untangle these insanely knotted family trees and present the info in an interesting way.
Thank you
@@MortalFaces I agree with ObserverWill. I honestly don't know how you're able to keep all this straight!
@@MortalFaces Also agreed! This is one of THE best family trees I've seen, & I've seen & drawn a LOT. It must've taken a hell of a lot of work, & it's excellent; really easy to follow!
But you still can’t spell ‘Philip’ correctly!
I agree with you
I know for a fact that she married her cousin to begin with, so inbreeding is not questionable already. What I didn’t know was that Kate and William being distant cousins only because media painted her as a “commoner”. But then again, the did the same with Diana when she married Charles even though Diana came from the Spencer family.
I never knew they was committing Incest 🤢🤦🏽♀️ nasty
Straight up because Diana was "illegitimate" on one side of her tree and she wasn't so obedient, therefore not as loyal which is bad if you aren't related entirely. Then she was killed. Goes to show how badly they want to keep that inbred lineage. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to Kate if she has any illegitimacy in her lines.
@@QueenDavid95 It’s not incest to marry a distant cousin. I am a genealogist and you’d be amazed how many married people find out they are related and didn’t even know it

So basically, if you’re rich and your family never left England, you’d inevitably marry your cousin

Yup! Pretty much sums it up!
Same as the Demholes in DC.
In the UK people married their cousins….still not as disgusting as marrying your brother or sister like the people in UTAH, USA.
It's the main thing I envy the Royals for, the fact that they can trace their ancestry back so far. It's actually fascinating to see how our future King and Queen William and Kate are in fact related to one another. One could almost believe that such arrangements have a degree of planning to keep things in the family as it were.
When you consider that Megan is also 15th cousin I'd say you've hit the nail on the head

Yeah it hurts my brain but it's fascinating lol
Impressive research. Just a suggestion: there's a thing called quociente of inbreeding. It's a number that quantifies how inbred a person is. I think if you could incorporate that for some key characters in this family trees, it would make it more interesting
Busted Helena ... It was all that interbreeding that gave a good rise to my penchant for exaggeration a dash of confabulation there. The seafaring Barons bastards is true . ...

Pretty much all Anglo-Saxons have some kind of noble or royal ancestor if you go far back enough. She is a commoner in the fact no-one in her close family holds any peerage titles. You have to go back quite a bit to find a noble ancestor.

I expected this to be extremely complicated but you presented it in a way that made seem simple. Great video!
Would love to see a video with Genghis Khan's imprint on the world someday, lol. A lot of people could probably trace back to him in some way or another
Gengish did have a lot of children, but if he had that many no one knows. They’ve never been able to confirm that he’s really the progenitor of all this dna, and some dna tests of his supposed relatives living today suggests he might not be. But the sad thing is that we don’t have access to his remains for conclusive dna testing.
He’s mostly the prime suspect because historians and scientists don’t know who else would have the opportunity to go at it like he did.
There’s an interesting video on this topic that you can find here on youtube
That was my first thought when my mom's DNA revealed a tiny percentage of "manchurian/mongolian", even tho she is 98 percent Irish. And a tiny percentage of Italian... since the Roman Empire stretched all the way to Hadrian's Wall, my assumption was... somewhere a Roman soldier, in addition to a soldier of Genghis Khan... most likely rape. Just how things were back then...
@@RC-eb5hqMy family line goes back to Ireland and the Vikings.
My mom managed to trace her mom's line up to King Edward III as well! And to James I, II, III and IV of Scotland. We branch off when King James IV had a baby with a mistress named Isabel Stewart. My mom's parents are related about 14 generations back, and her mom's mom's parents are also related about 14 generations back. It's wild, so tangled and hurts my brain. I'm the 17th generation away from King James IV so I guess I'm a micro-percent related to the queen! I'm as far away from King James IV as Prince William's kids!
Me too. Also, I am a Mary Boleyn descendant.
I’m related to the Queen because:
I’m related to the Qutb Shahs who are related to the Mughal’s(the Mughal’s are also related to Gengish Khan and the Afghan Monarchs. Keep in mind that Gengish Khan is also related to the Qing Monarchs and Korean Monarchs).
The Mughal’s are related to Safavid’s because Aurangzeb married Dilras Banu Begun who comes from the Safavid dynasty.
Abbas the Great married two people who were related to the Georgian Monarchs(Bagrationi dynasty). The Bagrationi’s stem from Charlemagne and he is related to every Monarch in Europe and some US Presidents.
That’s not something to flex about 😂 it’s sad
@@lizlevins4908 Huh? Its not sad its super cool to a) be able to trace your ancestry that far back and b) to be related to prominent historical figures.
I am too 😬😅😂
If we could all trace our family histories as detailed as the British royalty and aristocracy can, we'd probably all see that we are related too. Up until the Industrial Revolution people stayed pretty close to home in towns and villages their entire lives.
Hopefully not 👀 but I get what you mean, I'm a total contradiction according to our history, I'm Spanish, black and native Navajo... I mean I'm sure looking any direction is going be 🤦 somehow lol
This is actually what I spotted in Denmark. There are areas here where you can see people are quite look alike or having weird looks like short hand, extreme oval face, terrible oversized dental deformations etc.
Exactly. There are over 100 million people of British ancestry around the world. 200 years ago there were less than 10 million. If you go back another 500 years maybe 2 or 3 million. All Britons alive now descend from them. Our national family tree would be as tangled as this.
Only winners write history , has nothing to do with these three , it says enough how they created there position by killing and plundering the world . Wipe them out till the root ,thesepeople are the Evil of today !
Sounds like something an inbreeder would say...
So if I’m looking at the tree correctly, Elizabeth II isn’t THAT inbred simply for the fact that her Mother’s (The Queen Mum) line was outside all the royal intermarriages stuff for like 600 years. Right?? 🤷♂️
depends on what you consider as more or less inbred. She is more inbred than the average person I’d say, but not to the extent when we compare it with other royal families.
Those non-royal marriages will be able to draw from a larger pool of eligible people. That said, the pool of people at a similar rank, who would agree to the marriage, who have unwed sons and daughters, whose sons and particularly daughters are considered an appropriate age, will still be very small.
@@lupine.spirit Really- want to bet how much "inbred" the average person is (going back 5 or 6 generations) if they have not moved outside of the county or area they were born in.
Considering that Prince Philip was both her 2nd and 3rd cousin, depending on the line, her children are more inbred than she is. Fortunately, the move away from royals only marrying other royals means that the Queen's grandchildren and great grandchildren are becoming increasingly less inbred.
Diana was an outside line
I honestly don’t understand how you are able to keep all of this straight. Its amazing
By reading a family tree.
The emphasis is always on inbreeding in royal (or aristocratic) families. But what about us commoners? If our ancestors lived in a small village in a not densely populated area, the pool of potential mates would be relatively small, even if there were other small villages within walking or riding distance. It's possible that most young people would marry in their own village or nearby ones that had much the same gene pool. So if they were able to trace their ancestors back more than a few generations, they'd be related, and probably via more than one marriage. Populations (particularly in rural areas) didn't become particularly mobile until well into the 18th century or even the 19th. And don't forget that in many countries there was still a feudal system (e.g., France) or serfdom (e.g., Russia) that tied rural populations to the land, so chances of finding a mate with no common ancestry were slim.
Seems a particularly common situation in the US where you get entire towns that were founded by literally a handful of people, and has since lead to widespread medical problems in many places. It's rough. I remember reading Iceland had a dating app which deliberately tried to avoid matching people too closely related because the population there is so low and interconnected.
Even today most aren't very mobile. I've seen so many girls marry guys that really were not as good looking as them or up to their quality. It seems a shame. I've seen it happen so many times.
Both my parents were from the same small rural northern English village so I guess someone would look at my ancestry and say I'm inbred. Rubbish.
Maybe that’s why we got our mutations, nature’s way to make variations 🤔

This video does a good job at illustrating just how related Queen Elizabeth II's ancestors were, but honestly, this applies to everyone who can trace their ancestry back to these guys. Me included. I've traced my ancestry back to people like King Charlemagne, King John, and King Edward III through many different lines, way more times than I'd like to admit.
The difference is your family tree probably didn't start marrying close cousins until it hit on a royal line...
@@jimbob-robob Nah. My family stopped once they left England. Just like everyone else.
@Nicky L Yes. It's very easy given the resources I have. Plus, you know, everyone with a drop of European blood is a descendant of King Charlemagne.. so it's not uncommon.
hell we all related if you go back far enough lol
@@augustuscaesar8287 we’re sort of related!! I can also trace back to Charlemagne. But there has also been some incest closer to the modern age, in the 1700s, marrying their cousin, but as far as I’m aware, it only happened twice
I congratulate you for being respectful and making a good video at the same time.
somehow you made this easy to understand!! I can't imagine doing research to understand it and then finding a way to explain it. This was really cool to watch.
One detail you missed was that Mary Queen of Scots married her first cousin Henry Stuart Lord Darnley and had James of dual numbers by him.
Mary's father was James V of Scotland, who was the son of Margaret Tudor and her first husband James IV of Scotland.
Henry's mother was Lady Margaret Douglas, daughter of the same Margaret Tudor and her second husband Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus.
Imagine...he missed that...
Lady Jane grey fascinates me ! Along with some others that were crazy 🤔
So is that more evidence for incest or no?
They were half first cousins, they only shared one grandparent. Which is more than most, but still.
half-first cousin though Margaret Tudor's successive marriages
How does one untangle such twisted family trees and understand it? It’s nothing short of amazing. I get lost within the first few mind boggling branches. 😂🌿🌱 This channel is so interesting not to mention fun. TY!

@@gailcurl8663 I came back because the Queen has just passed 💔🇬🇧 sadly, and I’m trying to understand the family tree again. But what if he COULD find their pets? 😂 I saw your comment and had to giggle. Lololo.
I am one of many thousands of people related to the Royal Family through my maternal line. My mother's mother was a Bowes-Taylor and (although many family members in South Africa later dropped the Bowes), we and the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, share common ancestors as I have seen on our family tree, which makes me and my children distant cousins of the royals. Glamis Castle in Scotland was a "family seat" and I was told by my mum when I was just a small child that there were so-called "monsters" locked up there (or hidden away in homes for the retarded/insane), all being the result of incest. In fact, my mother also told me it was rumoured that the Queen Mother herself was actually an illegitimate child, conceived from a staff member. Interesting stuff. I'd enjoy your input. (My family tree can easily be traced.)
Sad

Wow. You are an incredible researcher. What a tangled web. My head was spinning half way through. I have always been fascinated by the histories of the British monarchies. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Mortal Faces, My jaw literally dropped when I saw how the Queen Mother was related to the English royal family through the Duchess of Devonshire. I had no idea. Here, I thought that George VI made a good non related match. Was I wrong! My jaw dropped finding out that William and Katherine are related too. I thought that she was just a nice commoner girl. Thank you for all of the time consuming detailed work that you do so that the rest of us don't have to. You are an amazing dude!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Also I never put it in but in case you're curious, Megan and Harry are related distantly too, according to sources.
@@MortalFaces Wow, that's an interesting tidbit about M & H. Who knew? But, then again, Diana was distantly related to George Washington somehow. English and American relations are probably more common than we think.
...if you want very odd family connections: one of my many times great grandmas is distantly related to Winston Churchill because one of his grandmothers was a Hall.
We're all related somehow, I'm related to the Queens mother through the Earls of Cork. If you go back far enough you'll realize your parents are related too 🙃

Very impressive! This is so well done! Absolutely incredible!
The addition of family trees is fantastic!
The research you did, even just being able to tie everything together, Kudos to you, my man!
Thank you!
These trees are interesting and all, but genetically, one isn't considered inbred unless your parents are more than 3rd cousins. If there is even one person of genetic variation somewhere along the line, that should take care of any recessive abnormalities. Because that is the only true downfall of inbreeding on a genetic level. A person doesn't become 'handicapped' only because their parents are related. It depends on the recessive genetic traits that continue to be passed along and expressed.
Just because some ancestor from 500 years ago was related to my partner's, that doesn't make my supposed child inbred. Honestly, that's probably in all of our family trees. The only difference is that ours aren't recorded like the British royals.
You've learned nothing from this channel about how close Royalty is and the heakth problems it caused...Why do you think Haemophilia was such a problem to the Tsars?
More Royalist apology...
@@jimbob-robob Hemophilia was not a problem for the Romanovs because of inbreeding. Ena of Battenberg and Alfonso XIII of Spain had two sons with hemophilia but were not at all closely related. Hemophilia is an X-linked trait that is passed on to the children regardless of who the carrier marries. Alexandra, just like her grandmother Victoria, mother Alice, sisters Victoria and Irene, aunt Beatrice, and cousins Alice of Albany and Ena of Battenberg, would have passed on the trait regardless of who they married. Hemophilia was brought into the family either because Victoria’s mother was a carrier, or, more likely, it was caused by a spontaneous mutation at her conception due to her father’s advanced age. Victoria would have had carrier daughters and sufferer sons whether she married Albert or some other obscure German prince or English peer. It’s the same with Alexandra. She would have passed on the trait to her children whether she married Nicholas or her cousin Albert Victor or some obscure prince. Incest only affects hemophilia when a carrier wife marries a male relative with hemophilia, which increases the odds of having a daughter who is both a carrier and a sufferer.
I wish people would stop perpetuating the myth that incest caused hemophilia. It’s blatantly false. There is no case among Victoria’s descendants where a carrier female and a hemophiliac male married.
still eeww
Exactly. My daughter was born with anomalies which the geneticist told us this happens in about 1 in 10,000 couples. He told us we carried the same recessive gene and if we went back 200 years, we would find we are related. We are 7th cousin we found out later when family members got into genealogy. However, that is true of everyone in the USA if your ancestors have been over here since 1600's or 1700's as mine and my husband's are. I only had one set of 2nd great grandparents who immigrated to the USA in the 1860's. Lol! through them I have 4th cousins In Ireland, England, Canada and Australia as they had some siblings who immigrated elsewhere. The rest of my ancestors started coming over here in 1609 through the early 1700's except for that one line. My husband's lines all were over here before 1750.
Of course they're inbred. They have to keep the satanic lines pure
Actually, its not that inbred at all by European royalty and nobility standards ;)
edit: we are all related if you go back far enough, but its difficult to trace back the lineage for most people. The royals are different in that their lines and marriages have been carefully recorded and traced for centuries. Then again, you have to take into account that there might have been possible adulteries, swapped children, imposters, uncertain paternity etc. that are not recorded in the official trees. I would love if it would be possible to do a comprehensive detailed DNA study of royals and perhaps their ancestors through samples taken from burials, so we could see who is descended from whom. :D
I always liked imagining that Elizabeth II was an immortal hive queen that could shape shift between human and spider form. Those Royal Grenadiers with the tall woolly hats are like her mindless worker droids and she can control them like puppets by moving her hands around. Her nest is obviously in Buckingham Palace where she watches over a swarm of insectoid children and occasionally one of them will pupate and transform into a 'human' form, and that's how you get Prince Harry and all the other royals. The publicly known 'royals' are actually all females, the males are drones and they become either the palace guards or they assimilate into real human society for whatever purpose the Queen has for them.
Are you okay
Well that was a wild ride.

Interesting how incest on such a scale can be found in the insect world with ants, termites,
bumble bees, wasp and bed bugs to say the least. Also interesting how the whole western
monarch social structure and the aforementioned insect social structures are identical.
The monarchs of Europe often described themselves as possessing blue blood whereas
all the above aforementioned insect groups also possess blue blood. Fascinating.
You just started my conspiracy wheels relating to Resident Evil Code Veronica... just more evidence that illuminati write our entertainment lol.
Blue blood? Royal? Nah. If someone was to hold up their forearm in the vein's look blue it means you don't work outside, more likely you don't work the land. Most of those working the land work for someone else, that someone else is inside not working and most likely well off.
Its almost as if they arent human at all

how can you say that she's "not THAT inbred" her family tree is a circle
What have we learned? These people are more mixed up than a dog’s breakfast.
I am very much enjoying your channel. You do amazing work!
Thank you.
Amazing research! Just incredible.
I did the Ancestry family tree for my family and got our familial crest, also found out that our ancestor was the one and only William the conqueror, his son actually. I was surprised how far back it went. We are French and Cherokee on my dads side and Danish on my moms, going to get the DNA test next to find out what exactly. My ex is also related to some cool historical figures and our son has been curious about it, hopefully can get the DNA test and the family tree and crest to show him soon. Stay safe out there everyone! Great video!
From David & fam from Alaska!
I am descended from William the conquerors half brother
The DNA thing is great at catching criminals . Some lady got her DNA done and it matched with DNA found at multiple murder scenes . They were able to check and see if she has family in the area of the murders and that’s how they caught one if biggest killers in history
I am very interested in this since I never new any of my grandparents but one grandmother, I know almost nothing about my maternal people. I know vaguely about the paternal side and that I am related to Edgar Allen Poe according to my uncle. I actually asked my bf to tell me about my people and he knew more than me or honestly more that I can manage to remember.
I think I will ask for an ancestry test for christmas this year and books on Belgium. Probably one that can tell me my eye color too because I can't figure it out, they seem brown until you get close and they look amber and a decent part green; my perception of typical hazel eyes is that they appear more green or blue, and I think they definitely appeared more brown when I was little, almost black.
I have been reading books about the area's history and gathering knowledge and documents for our medical history but it has been slow going. We have a genetic disorder, but nobody goes to the doctor unless they are dying and those who had severe cases have long since died, I have a mild case, because our familial mutation is unknown (because it is not a documented mutation my test was negative), the hospital records have been difficult to find so I was treated like I was weaving some psychotic tale when it is all true, but I was given 6 out of 7 points for diagnosis regardless.
My maternal family is Belgian. Apparently we get our 50% tan skin from Spain, I assume at some point that is where it goes. It always bothered me my grandma would say my sister was NA when half my family has her skin tone.
Even my mother knows little of our family since her mother died of an aneurism when she was 5. I plan on visiting her for the first time soon and bringing her lily of the valley flowers like my mom said she liked. Almost everything I know is second or third hand but this I know for sure.
@@macfou144 Golden State?
@@okusfayreno8599 Damn bro, you found your long lost distant cousin, David.
Oh so you go down the rabbit hole. I actually understood and kept up with you . I love it!
This is so fascinating. As someone who shares the same interest, I couldn't imagine how much work was needed to put all of these together. Very very commendable job! You deserve a like and a new subscriber - me! hahaha
PS: How I wish you have the same for Asian monarchies.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a very well researched and presented video. But their family history is so tangled I got completely lost
You did an insane job in this video. Wow!!
Thank you :)
What a mess. These people were nothing more than pawns for their country. Love sometimes happened but not often. Women were supposed to produce a male heir if not, well not good. Science now knows that it’s the man that determines the sex of the child, but back then, the poor women sometimes lost their heads. It was a strange time in history. Great job explaining this family tree.
Always the woman's fault. Same as when they were blamed for not getting pregnant when the men were most likely shooting blanks.
these are incredibly well made videos, for a moment I thought you were going to photoshop the queen's face so we can see what it would've looked like lol
You do an excellent job explaining family trees. Very easy to follow along.
LOVE THIS CHANEL❣️ thank you for all your hard work 🙏🏼😘🥰
So all kings from George I to Edward VII were German and all married women they were related to. The only break came with George VI who married a Scot which makes Elisabeth half Scottish, three-eights German and one-eighth Danish. Elisabeth herself reinforced the German Danish lineage by marring Philip who was not Greek by blood. William with an English mother will be the first king with mostly English blood since Henry VIII and as his wife is English George will be three-quarters English
Holy cow! First of all, I want to say what a mighty work, thank you! After that, what keeps going through my mind here, is something someone said to me many years ago: "I don't care how cute they are, if they qualify to attend your family reunion, they're off limits!" 😂
The amount of research is immense and I feel lucky to be able to watch this for free...
It would be interesting to see George Frideric Handel "alive", the composer related to George I, George II and Queen Caroline, since there is a significant number of portraits (from his 20th to old age) and since his music remains quite closely related to royal events (like all the coronations in UK since 1727).
Amazing research!
best Saturday night watching this ❤
Sounds interesting, but likely a mirage
What are the chances that not one of these people cheated?
You know, that honestly never came to mind lol.
well they did mention diana's line which came from an illegitimate child
I was thinking that too. There is no way that over the course of 600 years that not a single person had an affair and lied about paternity.
@@philtastic4 Diana has 2 illegitimate children of Charles II as her ancestors.
He doted on his children,and poured on them riches and titles.
His descendants are prominent in British society until today.
well, even if only one of a child's parents are of royal blood, that is still significant. and if the other parent is of noble descent, then we can't _really_ talk about 'dilution' of royal blood or of the person importance/standing in society.
on the other hand, yes all of the kings and queens had affairs left right and centre. no secret in that. HOWEVER the legitimacy of royal heirs was taken very seriously (still is) and even if the monarchs despised one another and had dozens of illegitimate (and often probably more adequate) children, it was their offspring that would be inheriting the throne. which is why so many brothers/cousins/aunties/uncles ended up taking the throne - the royal couple did not, for whatever reason, have a legitimate child to put on the throne, while the number or quality of the other children did not matter, as in the eyes of the law, they didn't exist.
so the chances of ruling monarchs being in any way illegitimate are very low and they would count as the exceptions, not the rules.
Monumental reconstruction! Finally Henry broke the tradition marrying Megan, and William marrying Kate. Finally their kids will be good-looking.
They are related. They descended from descendants of Edward the third. Sir Philip Wentworth had a son Henry and and a daughter Elizabeth. Henry’s (Wentworth) line is part of Harry’s lineage from both Charles and Diana’s sides and Elizabeth’s is part of the Markle line.
@@brasschick4214 Megan markle related to queen elisabeth??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both the queen and her sister were gorgeous, and so was queen's husband. There's no guarantee kids of good looking parents will be good looking, inbred or not. Not to be mean, but look at some good looking celebrities' kids for proof. So I don't think your theory works.
@@Nighthawk799 Yes, via the Queen Mother.
@@Nighthawk799 Yes, many Americans with English ancestry can probably trace their ancestry back to a peer, if not a royal.
That was absolutely fascinating. So much hard work has gone in to this! ! ! I get confused beyond my own cousins.
Glad you enjoyed it!
12:50 Well we are all related somehow, if you go back to each persons set of parents and their parents you will end up with a pretty big number, that number is even bigger than the world population of the 1400s, therefore we are all related starting from the middle ages
"therefore we are all related starting from the middle ages" that's completely false.
You cant be serious. Maybe white people but POC are not from the same ancestors...
There were a lot more cousin marriages back in the day than people realize. What’s true of the Windsors is true of most of us if not to such an extreme level.
There is even the theory that all humans stem from the same womans lineage, from about 100.000 to 200.000 years back.. 🤔
@@januarysson5633 The idea goes like this: You can count your own ancestors by multiplying them by 2, like this 2->4->8->16 and taking the average of 20 years per generation, so each ancestor having kids at around 20. You keep multiplying your ancestors by 2 and deducting 20 from the year each time. The number of people end up with is bigger than the world population of the 1400s, so where are all those people come from? The answer is intermarriage and all different kinds of relations, which means we are all connected. There is a video somewhere on YT explaining this concept in detail.
This is amazing history. Wow, thank you!
Gives a whole new meaning of "Family Business". I have always heard of keeping things in the family but DAMN,............ that's deep.
Wow, your ability to break these family trees down, and the ease at which you then relay it on your video. There is no stuttering, no umms or even tripping over your tongue. Impressive.
I truly respect and appreciate how much effort you would have to put into these 15min videos, yet its feels like you are just chatting to your neighbor about something truly simple.
However do you think it is possible that these royal bloods are actually reptilians and perhaps reptilians can interbreed without huge genetic mutations. My thought process, as humans, we are taught you cant mess with your family, yet the way they keep it in the family, shouldn't they all be resembling elephant man by now. Just a thought. 🐘🤴🤣
Thank you
Heather townley 😂😂😂
That was Amazing!!! I'm a history fan, you presented this so well, that it was pure fun and joy to listen to, well done.
Lorde: "And we'll never be royals..." Me: Thank God!
There must be a meaningful way of calculating a valid numerical value for degree of "inbredness". If one is looking back 600 years, say 30 generations then one has up to about 1 billion ancestors, but the population of Britain only about 3 million 600 years ago - so clearly we're all "interbred" over that timespan. I am not convinced that Elizabeth II is in any meaningful sense "inbred".
Well the term "inbred" becomes very convoluted in these contexts. Technically, or rather genetically, they are "line" bred. Line breeding carries one set of genetics. And "inbred" carries two lines so lines of both parents. But to be truly inbred with no diluting lines they must be directly related (ie brother and sister) ie anything closer than first cousins, to have both sets of genetics. So even if there are two related lines, if no direct relationship for the parents it is line bred within a small gene pool, so interbred is a good description.
Absolutely. You only share 0.1% DNA with 6th cousins and only 0.8% DNA with your 7th great-grandparents. Also, you only share 3.1% DNA with a second cousin and 12.5% with a 1st cousin or great-grandparent. DNA is a crazy thing!
I would say her children are definitely because she married her second cousin and they’re cousins on both sides of their respective families
She's inbred moreso than Alabamans
@@supernovakk are you justifying this madness???
I was able to follow the ancestry at the beginning of the video but I officially got last at 0:01 💀
😂😂😂
Imagine how many of those kids we’re not really the kings but probably some peasant from a pub lol and the kings never knew
One word comes to mind!!! SCARY 😳, Royalty were well known centuries ago for inter marriage (keeping it in the family). Very intriguing to hear your theory
I love your content.
7:33 “that connects the family circle”… ye, I think it was suppsed to be a tree…
Absolutely fascinating. Brilliant research and visual explanation. I had no idea they were all so related. Thank you.
Fascinating! Though William and Kate are only as much related as most people of British descent…
A very interesting and intriguing family tree! I appreciated the manner in which you untangled and explained the relationships. Well done! 👍🇨🇦
you should do harry and megan too. I read somewhere they are related through her fathers line.
Thank you for sharing . Research can be time consuming and once again shown facts and professionalism while showing this presentation for all to understand . Very interesting we are actually living in a high society intermarriage . The question I want to know is why do they feel the attraction or legacy to do this practice or tradition , which ever it falls under as they see it ? I am assuming due to Royals only associate with Royals and not with commoners, makes it more logical in there circle .
This is the first video I watch from you. Well done, you are good at explaing the subject and the images you use are great. I am excited to watch more of your vidoes. This is a dream for us who are interested in history.
Very interesting, but difficult to process all that info! I suppose most of us are related to royalty one way or another!
Wow, that was interesting! I love genealogy!
Studying the royals' family tree(s) is complicated. And made even more difficult by the fact that many royals have/had nicknames.
Banjo music intensifies, no wonder they are all nuts.
I'm convinced everyone in england is related...
Everyone on earth is related. Unless new people show up in spaceships from other planets. Otherwise, we're related if you go back far enough
So we're all inbred in a way
I never thought this video could entertain me all the way through, but it did.
Must be awkward knowing that you're related to your spouse in some way. Great video. 👍
Really interesting, thank you. William and Kate are cousins too, who would have thought.
Incredibly distant cousins, more distant in fact than the average couple. The entire human race are cousins, the only alternative would be marrying animals or aliens
I'll have to watch this video a few more times to understand everything, but it was being reccomended to me for so long I had to watch
