The Most Inbred Families in History 

I wonder how long it took people to see the connection between inbreeding and malformations 🤔

First of all this is a great video! I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the Thai royal families. They frequently had cousin marriages and had sometimes concubines who were their half-sisters and children with them. Even the current king of Thailand was married and had a child with a first cousin. Maybe this would be an idea for another video though.

“Ew! He looks inbred!” “MARY! We’re ALL inbred!”

You should make a video on the family tree of Amanda Rae, a RU-vidr who grew up in a very messed up cult; she had a video laying out the basics and she calls it her family bush lol.

I hope your channel keeps blowing up!!! You deserve this!!

Alabama was part of Spain during the reign of Carlos II, so he's literally the King of Alabama.

Love this series! Keep it up! ❤

I love these videos theyre always so interesting💞

The shy historian: *publishes anything about inbreeding* Me: *aggressively watches*

Love these videos, especially the"how every ( ) monarch died" videos. Keep up the good work

3:16 Zoroaster is not the god of zoroastrianism, that would be Ahura Mazda. Zoroaster was the prophet.

this was really interesting, i knew it happened but never realised it was so prevalent amongst the aristocracy. thank you for putting this together and sharing it with us.

straight away clicked!

5:58 The pic on the right legitimately looks like something out of a horror movie or something

noblemen see me marrying a comely lass and say "He has secured no alliances"

genuine question: does it ever bother you that this is what your channel is most known for at this point? dont get me wrong, its a fascinating topic, but at the same time if i were making so many videos about old families alabamaing it up itd absolutely take a toll on my mental health. im just curious so theres ofc no pressure to respond! i love your videos

can you make videos on other european Monarchs like Germans Austrian Hungarian Italian French Russian and when they died and how like the english you did

I feel like you could have mentioned the Khitan Liao in the medieval period, they famously restricted the marriage of their ruler to only two vassal clans which resulted in cousin marriages across generations until they eventually fell.

Thank you.

I’ve been binging your incest history videos EVERYDAY this week, they’ve oddly been very helpful to my anxiety - what a treat to get this new one today!!! Could you do the history of every royal death in the Netherlands? 🇳🇱🥹

great vid u need a better mic tho!! haha :p

7:36 George III was not George I's grandson, but his great grandson as George III's dad (Frederick Prince of Wales) died before his father (George II)

Just an observation. Because power was so personal, the inbreeding was also a practical way of consolidating actual power, whatever the rhetoric about "blood purity" was used. Until power became disassociated from familial relations, this was a practical necessity to maintain power and wealth. And they used religious and rhetorical reasons as underpinning for what was in actuality realpolitik.

"Royal and noble dynasties seem to do it the most." (paraphrased). There is also the chance they are just the most recorded, who knows how many small villages in the middle of nowhere led to inbreeding that were just lost to time.

The Ancient Chinese families didn’t die out from inbreeding. Emperors had harems full of noble women. The primary wife may be a first cousin, but the heir could come from any of these concubines. The dynasties never died out. They were always overthrown.

I would be interested in figuring out who is the most inbred Greek and Egyptian deity respectively. Especially because some ways those gods are born make how genetically related they should be complicated

What about the house of Saud?

Hemophilia is a sex linked condition on the X chromosome, Because Queen Victoria was a carrier and passed it on to most of her daughters and granddaughter is how it spread through out the royal families in Europe. It is not a result of imbreeding. If the daughters also had hemophilia then it would be more likely due to inbreeding since a daughter would have to get it from both parents.

Will you ever move on from inbreeding to other topics? There are a lot more stories beyond this topic that would be interesting to me and your other readers.

Henry VIII was a cousin to Catherine of Aragon!

Bruh you need to invest in a better mic it sounds like a blue yeti from the way it echos the room

Wait wait wait did you just say kame hame ha??? Like fr??

Allow make videos on other topics 🙏

Have you heard of Amanda Rae on youtube? She has a video about her family bush. It would be AWESOME if you could untangle her family..... Wreath.....

Amanda Rae and her family bush :)

When i hear Kamehamehameha i think Dragon Ball.

I don't think ancient royal inbreeding was solely due to beliefs about divinity but also inheritable property

My CK3 Dynasty

Zoroaster is not the god of zoroastrianism, only its main prophet. The deity that the zoroastrians adore is Ahura Mazda

It wasn't because of blue blood it was to keep power in the family.

I think that humans started out with inbreeding. It's not like 10 non-related humans popped out of nowhere to mate. Although we will probably never know scientifically. In bible it's adam then eve made from him then, cain and abel both guys. Then WHAM more humans pop outta nowhere so they had options 😂

Lol one of the first gods in Greek mythology was Gaia and she had children all on her own. Her own son, the sky God forced himself on her and shoved their ugly inbred children back inside of her. She created a weapon and gave it to her son cronos, he cut off his fathers junk and threw it into the sea, from it aphrodite was born. This son of a mother and son married his sister and they hand many kids but fearing his kids would kill him he ate them. His sister/wife was deeply upset at seeing her husband/brother eat all her kids so she gave birth in a secret place and wrapped a rock in a blanket and gave zeus to her sisters to raise. He came back and fed his father poison, cronos threw up his older kids, zeus siblings and they instantly began a war. Titans vs Olympians. After the war zeus married a titan goddess but while she was pregnant learned she'd give birth to twins that'd over throw him. He turned her into water and drank her. The pregnant titan transferred the baby and athena came out of zeus skull. Next zeus forced himself on his older sister Demeter, giving birth to Persephone and then forced his older sister hera into Marriage with him. They had aries God of War. War because hera was not wanting to marry zeus. Hades, zeus brother saw Persephone and wanted her and asked , zeus for her. Classic zeus first forced himself on his daughter Persephone before handing her over to hades. Persephone mother, and zeus sister went into a rage. She killed all living things on the earth creating the first winter. Zeus admitted to giving Persephone to hades and they demanded her return. The myths get worst but yes, lots of incest on Greek mythology. Lots of rape and lots of unfairness. Literally, athena challenged a human woman to a weaving competition and when athena lost she transformed this poor human into a hideous monster known as the mother of spiders. Zeus brother forced himself on Medusa, a gorgeous woman that wanted to serve athena and when she cried athena took her rage out on Medusa and transformed her into a monster as punishment for her getting raped by a God in her temple. This led greeks to blame women for when they got raped and charge them with adultery and so women (they saw 12 years old as women) that got raped was put to death. It's insane how many sins the greeks did because it was in their gods creation.

This puts new meaning to "All asians look the same" 😅😮

Why use Nefertiti's image as an example when she wasn't inbred and didn't marry anyone from her family. There is absolutely no evidence that Nefertiti was a cousin to her husband; on the contrary. And you call yourself a historian? xD"

habsburgs are worst mutants in history

Zoroaster was a prophet, not a god. The god worshipped in Zoroastrianism is Ahura Mazda.

So this could explain why people in the ancient and medieval times were so barbaric and cruel
