#CharlesII, the #King of #Spain in the late 1600s, is one of my favorites for just how egregious it is.
The dude's mother married her mother's brother, and even her parents were cousins, and their parents were cousins, and it all becomes this giant circle instead of a tree. You can tell just by looking at the dude how screwed up his genetics are: the human genome is resilient to some level of inbreeding, but it never stood a chance against this kind of incest cult.
FWIW, it was the previous King Charles, #CharlesII who renamed the colony of #NewAmsterdam to #NewYork in honor of his brother, the then Duke Of York, and the Future JamesII

Harry should divorce his highly dysfunctional and immoral family. #charlesii #horseconsort #adultry

In an age where much wealth was held in portable objects, the medieval and Tudor kings housed their jewels, plate and other valuables in jewel houses within their palaces. In Issue 04, Dr Nicola Tallis looks at those jewel houses in which Henry VII and Henry VIII stored their treasures.
