Charles II of Spain didn’t end up like that just because, that’s for sure. Poor guy.

The article in the Brit Daily mail is much better and has a LOT of pictures!
The above article also stated that the study was really not conclusive, as it had ONLY looked at the paintings of the WORST of the lot vis-a-vis the jutting jaw, large nose, and large lower lip. And it also had some picture of Habsburgs with NO "deformaties".

Perhapsburg they also ended up with superior cognitive capacities as well.
After all they ruled nearly all of Europe for over 500 years, and were the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire for 400 of that.
And The Holy Roman Empire ruled all of Europe for a thousand years.
What we know today about Western Civilization sprouted there and blossomed into the very pinnacle of art and wealth.
Not such a bad legacy.

And The Holy Roman Empire ruled all of Europe for a thousand years. The Holy Roman Empire arguably existed for 1000 years -- though that would take some creative counting -- but never really ruled more than Greater Germany and northern Italy. It was also rather fractious, so it didn't have the degree of centralized control as did France, England, or Spain.
There was a period of a couple hundred years when it was arguably the strongest single entity in Europe, but even then it didn't even control a quarter of Europe as a whole.

Generations of first cousins intermarrying. What was to be expected?!

Researchers have found?? I'm reading an old history book that references even older history books that include references to that!
News Flash! Researchers have requested grant money to announce stuff that people 100 years ago already knew!
