When Charles was two days old, the Venetian ambassador wrote home that there would be a succession problem down the road, the infant not having "the necessities". The Venetians were never blind to that sort of thing.

Saw what you did there "Venetian blinds".😆

People always talk about Charles II being so inbred but they normally never mention that he had a full blooded older sister with the exact same genetics but who never had the mental or physical deformities that Charles II did. Although she did die young at age 21 after having 4 children (three died in infancy) and 2 miscarriages, it is amazing to think what might have happened if she and her brother had their situations switched. If she had been born deformed and mentally handicapped and he born good looking, mentally able, and capable of having children.

Genetics was not discovered during their entire reign. It seems intuitive to us, but that’s because we’ve grown up in a society with this key aspect of science known. You have to remember that the idea of germs and bacteria, cleanliness, these all did not really exist. There were open room surgeries done during civil war with no anesthetic for patient nor any thorough cleaning of doctors tools (would use same saw they just amputed last patient with on next one)

@@surimoon17l16 why would you think someone would recognize on their own something that took an amazing scientific mind his career to figure out? Genetics isn’t simple. Most of the issues with inbreeding don’t come up until it is already in effect. 2 normal parents, who are closely related, have a kid with issues. Why would they think that it had to do with parents? Now for the Hapsburg, it was so profound and multigenerational that people would see the parents being inbred to start with having inbred kids. That’s not that hard to figure out, but that also is not really the part of genetics that was important for us to understand. That’s like understanding that having a really big father means you can have really big sons…but that’s not genetics because it doesn’t describe in any way why a large father would have a runt of a son; it’s only a superficial understanding of it. But to answer your more immediate thought, the people who worked with the Hapsburg DID know that they were inbred and not of a good stock. The problem was that power was passed down by blood, and the inbred Hapsburg had one of the strongest dynasties seen in Europe. So in all likelihood everyone knew they were inbred and of a bad stock, and could do nothing about it because they were royalty. But even their understanding of being inbred was muted; they only saw it at surface level. They had no idea that 2 cousins having children increases the likelihood of birth defects by orders of magnitude.

By trying to be a strong blue blood family they done the opposite and made the family tree weak. They didn't know any better at that time.

"Crowned," not "coronated!!"

For that matter, Heian-era Japanese emperors were pretty inbred in a weird way. They had multiple wives, but to limit the power of the Fujiwara clan, only a child the emperor had with a half-sister could be Emperor. The half-sister of choice’s mum would of course be a Fujiwara.
