the habsburgs stopped being so inbred in like the 1700s. this is old news, charlie of spain was the last worst one of that mould (and his ailments were exaggerated in autopsy)
i want more jokes about the hilarious disfunction of the damn austro-hungarian empire, not 'inbreeding lmao'
That's not entirely true. One of the last Austrian emperors, Ferdinand I, only had 4 great-grandparents. His parents... had the same grandparents. As a likely result, he suffered frequent seizures, was somewhat feeble-minded, and was infertile, which left his government weak and divided within itself between rival ministers, leading to him being deposed by his nephew in a coup.
The best humor at the expense of the Austro-Hungarians comes from their unhappy, but willing to laugh about it, (Czech) subjects like Jaroslav Hašek and Franz Kafka. We're pretty far removed from that time to laugh about them intelligently.
yes you are correct, and like, all royals have higher occurances of some diseases even to this day--but the whole distinctive outward characteristics was banished.
but what's a bit of disease to the ruler of a big country really, they had the healthcare and help.
one of our relatives participated in the czech revolt against the habsburgs and was in one of the biggest hussite communes in our region, which was kinda lit. the left wing shit runs deep in our family. idk wtf is with my parents though theyre whack

Jaroslav Hašek was cool as fuck.

You mean "the eagle is double headed due to inbreeding, LOL" ?.
