I'm still trying to find a good documentary on the middle ages.That's one piece of history i don't know much about and would like to learn.

Gross

 

[DeuceZ]

Prince - Mon frere I'm having a niece


Prince II - d'accord

Yeah this is crazy, but think of the cousins that you've got now that are like forbidden fruit

 

[Knights89]

Tsar Nicholas of Russia:

and his cousin George V of England

That's what made William the Conqueror such a boss. He was born of a peasant mother and still managed to force his way into the royal gene pool. I suppose that that's how they all manage to get that far, though...

World War I was fought between cousins. George V and Wilhem were first cousins. Nicholas' wife was first cousins with them as well. Nicholas and Wilhem were second cousins on one side and third cousins on the other

Look at the family portraits. Keep in mind that the artist making those paintings was under pressure of being tortured to death to ensure that the royalty looked attractive and regal, yet still looked like the original subject. You see over the generations how the offspring starts to look like a caricature of their own family. Imagine how unattractive these people were in real life.

 

[Ooh Marty]

Not surprised at all

Incest wasnt frowned upon until the last couple hundred of years tbh

Things got ridiculous in the 1800's. The aftermath of the dynastic clashes throughout Europe in the middle ages was a lot of noble houses joining into one and some lines dying altogether (the most obvious example being the Wars of the Roses. Two branches of House Plantagenet (York and Lancaster) rip each other into shreds, until a distant ass Lancaster claimant finally wins out in the end, Henry Tudor. Plantagenet, York, and Lancaster families are pretty much done for. This sort of thing happened all over Europe).

This plus all the inbreeding meant there was damn near just one big royal bloodline in the 1800's. Nicholas' was also the nephew of King George of Greece...who by the way was Danish. He only became King of Greece because the greeks wanted to get rid of Otto, and UK, France, and Russia suggested George who up until that point wasn't going to be much as his older brother was going to get Denmark.

George's siblings were Frederick, who became king of Denmark, Alexandra who married and became Queen of England (George V's mother), and Dagmar who married and became queen of Russia (Nicholas' mother).

Wilhem had one arm shorter than the other, btw. These people were a genetic fukking mess

The Bushes do it, too. The daughter who just had a baby clearly married her cousin. I could've sworn when they were first announced as a couple, actually reading that in an article, then it got buried. There are some big families in the US who have practiced this. A few notable Black families married within the family to keep the light skin going. As you can imagine, it didn't work out well, with birth defects and such being common.

I'd probably increase my wealth through chattel slavery and create mulatto degenerates

id probably go hunt big giant animals for no apparent reason then hang there skulls in my living room

the fukkery wouldn't stop.
