Epic Incest Dynasty

Josef Fritzl's incest dungeon is utterly pwned and destroyed by the antics of the Hapsbergs, the ruling house of Spain during much of the 17th Century. A parallel branch of the line ruled over Australia - coincidence? I think not. 4chan's favorite reading material will seem a shadow of its former glory upon contemplation of this glorious feat of genetic endeavor.

Make no mistake, this is not a case of "a challenger appears", this is a case of "all our chromosomes are belong to us."

Consanguinities will never be the same.

Family "tree"

The dynasty got off to a bad start when Philip I married Juana of Aragon, who was already known as "Juana the Mad" and later turned out to be a necrophiliac into the bargain. Juana (who was so insane that she was kept locked up in a castle) was also one of the four great-grandparents of Don Carlos, a prince and retarded psychopath who was also walled up alive due to, well, being a retarded psychopath who couldn't be let near the throne.

What you are looking at is several generations of inbreeding so determined that it takes a few minutes to get your head around it. Most of the dynasty's 11 marriages were between blood relatives, including several matches between first cousins and two between uncles and nieces. Perhaps this chart will help:

Remember, these portraits were meant to be flattering, inspiring, and patriotic.

Some princess, bald and with huge facial birthmark Don't look into its eyes No, that picture wasn't taken at an angle Ferdinand I of Austria, totally retarded and famous for only speaking one intelligible sentence ("I'm the Emperor and I want dumplings") Dat chin Moar chin MOAR chin Most epic chin

The end result of all these shenanigans was King Carlos II, whose father was his mother's uncle, and his grandmother was also his aunt. As a result, Carlos was a retard so grotesque that his portraits caused spontaneous miscarriages and turned milk sour. He had a huge tongue that couldn't fit properly in his mouth, which would have hindered his speech if he hadn't been nearly incapable of putting words together in the first place. By the time of his death in 1700, aged 35, he was bald and senile and spent most of the day twitching on the floor from epileptic seizures. He was also sterile and/or impotent, which no doubt came as a great relief to both of his wives, and therefore Carlos was the last of his line.

Goodnight, sweet Prince

In popular culture

It seems likely that the sexploits of the Hapsbergs inspired the twisted family tree of the royal family in the game Crusader Kings:
