Ding Dong Ditch: Royal Incest is Whack

Queen Elizabeth II has died, so this seems a great time to talk about incest in royal bloodlines. Focus is mainly on the Habsburg Dynasty of the 1600s, a family whose interbreeding was so severe, the most powerful monarchy since Charlemagne eventually extinguished itself. We're gonna talk a little about that infamous jaw too. Also... was the incestuous bloodline of Queen Victoria ultimately responsible for the fall of the Romanov family in Russia? Give a listen and let me know what you think.Finally, I wrap up with some American takes on the whole inbreeding thing, and the cultural differences between that and royalty. This all but guarantees I have to talk about the blue people of Kentucky.So come on in and take a short ride on a few twisted bloodlines. This ain't an Olive Garden, but when you're here, you're family.Additional Info: That Habsburg Jaw:https://allthatsinteresting.com/habsburg-jawKing Charles II:https://allthatsinteresting.com/charles-ii-of-spainThe Habsburg Family Tree:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBOnjhEbqTMThe Blue Fugates of Kentuckyhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/fugate-family-blue-people-of-kentuckyThe Whitaker Familyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkGiFpJC9LMShow Credits:Show Credits:Show Credits:Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson: http://ndickson.comIntro Music -- Spencer MorelockBackground Music -- "Division" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Ding Dong Darkness Time Media:Twitter: @dddarknesstimeInstagram: dddarknesstimeGmail: [email protected] Credits:Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson: http://ndickson.comMusic -- Spencer Morelock, Ken DicksonDing Dong Darkness Time Media:Twitter: @dddarknesstimeInstagram: dddarknesstimeGmail: [email protected]
