I listened to a podcast about this. Apparently a lot of royals put the status of the family or monarch they were marrying into above their genetic disorders & ran the risk. They would rather have the prestige & disorder than no prestige & no disorder. Also, at the time, they didn’t know as much compared to what we know today with all these genetic diseases.

3:29 That bit of information has bothered me ever since I read about it some years ago. Alfonso XIII absolutely knew that hemophilia existed in the decedents of Queen Victoria and was repeatedly warned not to court Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. But he chose to do so anyway because he was apparently infatuated with her and eventually married her. Then he had the gall to resent her when their son inherited the illness, an illness she had no control over, an illness he knew she could pass on to male offspring. 😑

Talk about a close family.

Wow, so at least one of Vlad's children survived the total upheaval of 15th century Romania AND managed to stay in the royal clan! That is remarkable.

I couldn't help cackle at 22:30 when Elisabeth Amalie's future husband was relieved she was actually pretty and didn't inherit the Habsburg jaw. I can't help but wonder how many royalty go "Oh, as long as my future spouse doesn't have the Habsburg jaw, I'm fine with it."

They did marry other Royals in other countries to keep their money and to keep the fighting down.

Lindsey, can you make a video about the Greek Royal family history and about its members!!

Very enjoyable to watch this small part of history.

Lindsey,... You do a great job pronouncing all the names, titles, and geographic entities. I can help with one, however. The place Hohenzollern is indeed a mouthful, but is easier to pronounce if you divide it into two parts: Hohen, and zollern. Hohen is a geographical adjective meaning Upper, as in Upper New York State. Zollern is a place name. When pronouncing it sat Ho-n-zoll- -urn...or ( Hoe)-(hen)- (zoll, rhymes with roll)-(earn, as in earn a living) I hope this is helpful. I love your videos.

Thank you for the information ! Well done!

It is one of the Hungarian noble families descending from the house of Aba The most notable ancestor of the Aba noble house was Samuel Aba, the third king of Hungary between 1041 and 1044, married to a sister of St. Stephen I, the first Roman Catholic king of Hungary. Today is our national anniversary. I would be happy if you don't misinform your viewers, many thanks, greetings from HU, Erdélyország

Great videos! Great history lesson… some work needed on some of the pronunciations though.

Felipe VI king of spain married his wife Queen Letizia on the morning of 22 May 2004 - NOT 2003.....

The sister of Prince Albert of Monaco is married to the current King of Hanover, if Hanover still had a king. The heir to Liechtenstein is married to the claimant to the Jacobite line of the UK, being descended from James III, the Old Pretender.

Disgusting, the way Congolese were treated... 😡

Great pronunciations and great research ... EXCELLENT video.

BRAVO!VERY,VERY,SUPER INFORMATIVE.THANK YOU SO MUCH,

Great video, but just a thing. At 21:15, Emperor Maximilian of Mexico is the bearded man looking down at the couch, not the one standing looking at the camera. Also, he wasn't just appointed but *elected* Emperor. A referendum was held in 1864, where the embattled and bankrupt republic was defeated by a return to the country's original form of independent government -- constitutional monarchy.

You said that King Albert 1 of Belgium fought against the Nazis, that's wrong.He never fought the nazis, He died in 1934 before the Nazis started WW2. He fought against Kaiser Wilhelm 2, Emperor Franz Josep 1, Sultan Mehmed 5 and Tsar Ferdinand 1. They was called the Central Powers and not Nazis.

Juan Carlos is tremendously unpopular in Spain. His son has a much better reputation but Leonor is definitely going to be a popular Queen when she grows up. Letizia, Leonor's mother is also unpopular and many people don't like her. One of Philip's sister and his brother-in-law, Cristina and Iñaki, have been embroiled in scandal and he went to prison... Honestly, I'm still surprised how much Spain sticks to their monarchs, any country would have got rid of them by now
