BTW, Carlos II, who I mentioned briefly, was a product of so much inbreeding that his genome was actually more homozygous than that of a child that was a product of a normal brother/sister incestuous mating. In other words, if you went and humped your brother, y'all's child would still be somehow less inbred than Carlos II. Most people have 32 great-great-great-grandparents. Carlos had had only 14.
Un-fucking-believably, Carlos had a full-sister named Margarita Teresa, who married her UNCLE, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. They produced one surviving daughter, Maria Antonia of Austria, who must be the most inbred person in modern history of whom we have good genealogical records.
