      @UsefulCharts This prediction and the wild shifts in ancestry percentages from parent to offspring reflect RECENT ANCESTRY (2-3 recent generations) results, which are quite different from the ENTIRE ancestral line. The ancestral line percentages- which is what 23 and Me displays - will change only incrementally in 2-3 generations with 100+ generation ancestry timelines in view. This is a clarification for those who are wondering.

      Is the queen related to Gaius Julius Ceasar? The Romans conquered almost all the germania royal houses. Much bloodshed was spilled in Germany, Austria, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Ireland.

      You'd think, right? But the real inbreeding was among the Catholic monarchs (like Spain), because there were so few of them and they never married from outside their little group. The 5682378 tiny little postage-stamp German duchies made this much less of an issue in Protestant northern Europe. If you want to see inbreeding in the north you have to look at the rural poor.

      @TheRenaissanceman65 A lot of them aren't committing incest per se, but royals seem to marry 2nd or 3rd cousins more often than not. A product of constantly marrying foreign royals is that even in the north, there are only so many royal houses. It was pretty rare to not need to petition the pope for a dispensation to marry a relative, which was required if they were closer than I believe 5th cousins.
      Certainly, most people living in your country, even many in the aristocracy, were less closely related than many/most royal houses...

    • @DavBlc7
      @DavBlc7 4 года назад +275

      Yep and her mother and her husband George VI (despite having a German lineage) are both descended from King Robert the Bruce of Scotland, through James I (VI of Scotland). His daughter married the elector of Hanover and this lead to George I after the Stuart lineage died out with death of Queen Anne.
      Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg were cousins from Hanover lineage and also descendants of James I. So The Queen is direct from Robert the Bruce and Henry VII (whose eldest daughter married a Scottish king) from both lineages.

HOWEVER Nicholas wife WAS indeed a granddaughter of Victoria. So they were still his cousins in-law, if that term exists.
      Same for Spain. King (Alfonso VIII) wasnt a grandson of Victoria, but his wife was a granddaughter.

I think King George VI may be one of the best to have sat on the British throne. There have been of course, many remarkable individuals, from Queen Victoria, who spread the empire to one on 'which the sun never set,' to the current Queen Elizabeth II, who has held steadfast in her grace and sense of duty despite the ever increasing lewdness and obscenity of our times. I love how their impact lead to entire time periods being named after them- from the Georgian to Edwardian Era- their influence on history has been thus immortalised.

    The funny coincident: when we track back our ancestors, every generation the number of individuals double. Also, if we track some a given person's offspring, generation to generation, the number of individuals increases too, and about as much, because sometimes they get more children than two, sometimes just one. Usually - the noble house have perhaps more cases of extinct family branches, due to murders of the power struggles, or inherited deseases due to inbreeding,

      @@Mister_Pedantic Yeah, but what good does that statement do to help avoid the mechanisms causing inbreeding? Like if a bank was robbed, it doesn't help to say we're all criminals to a degree - though it's a correct statement. That's the trouble of some seemingly wise generalizations. They keep us grinding on the same spot, nothing changes.
      Well, the rule of thumb works pretty fine: marry no siblings, better avoid the cousins. And If you live in a small village, better go look from the neighbouring villages :)
      In the countryside people breeding animals kept this knowledge very well.
      The nobility in many cultures lost contact to the natural - they created the idea of the pure blood of the nobles. So it started to look like a small village in their circles: about all the royal houses of Europe were somewhat related.
      So they really needed the pedigree charts, when the science opened up this issue :) Which people in the countryside knew better: the 'uncivilized'.
      The nobles are not really the aim of my edge: it's the human pride to do whst they want, if power, money, strength, beauty, intelligence etc. only yields. Power and opportunity without responsibility, without limits.
      Like the bourgeoisie are a good examplwe of the same in the 19th and early 20th centuries: thriugh industry they became rich, which was nrew to them. So they looked for the signs of wealth and power - status symbols - the nobility used: clothes, jewellery, houses, horses, dogs & cats.
      But while the nobility had century old experience and practicality concerning keeping horses and dogs, the upstart bougeoisie didn't. So they bought dogs and cats for status symbols, but there was no natural purpuse for them, like the nobles had hunting dogs of various kinds, and guard dogs - bred for the purpose, not for the looks - so the breeds stayed usually healthy.
      The newly rich started their breeding programs. But there was no practicality linked to them, no natural purpose - just the whims how they each saw the dogs beautiful, or cats. So they started to breed versions of the dogs who looked special, oustanding or pretty in their eyes.
      So now we still have dog breeds that suffer from hip pains for unhealthy shape bred to them; or short muzzled dogs with eye and respirational problems for the nose (snout?) being too short for them.
      Or there are hairless cats, or some breeds who are too skinny - long but not wide enough torso, so they have spinal problems.
      And the hunters did breed problems too, in thier greed to use the dogs - those short legged breeds meant to go to tunnels to fight badgers etc. Or then we just simply overfeed the pets.
      - This long story to vent my anger and horror of the distortions of the natural our vanity does. For a closure of the human inbreeding: I understand the dilemmas of the small isolated communities, but the nobles have chosen their isolation. Well, more so in the history, now the situation is improving considerably. I just want to bring it up to discuss of the problems of alienation from the natural.

      @@timomastosalo I would suggest that your "anger and horror" is misplaced. It's 2020 now and "the nobles" no longer marry their cousins. However, if you need a contemporary target, there is a certain isolated community in Britain that practices first-cousin marriages generation after generation and they certainly have a dilemma.

      @@Mister_Pedantic Oh, boy - here we go again. That's, not what I said… How do you read? What worries me is your kind of readers quote people wrong. You pick sentences here, others there - and combine in a new way you think the writer thinks! That's not what they think. Don't put your interpretations in my mouth - be more careful, responsible. Don't assume.
      Could it be you're UK citizen, and you read my comments like you're used to see comments about it in the UK? I don't live in a country with royalty - I've just seen how people behave, if they think they're above others. Plus how pride feeds stupidity. Sometimes in myself. And though we don't have royalty, I'm not American. Maybe my grammatical errors give away my mother tongue isn't English, it's Finnish.
      You misplaced my anger and horror to the nobles - though I specifically said it's about our alienation from the natural - (however it comes). Like that isolated community you mentioned.
      But the nobles have been an example of the self-caused problems that follow. And I did also say lucky things are getting better in their family lines - so that 'it's 2020 now' was needless, just showed your careless reading. I pointed at the science helping opening these matters up: so the chsnge in the knowledge and attitudes about marrying.
      And I said those often called uncivilized have actually been more civilized in this matter. People who have bred animals have understood the logic covering us people as well. But isolated in courts, people alienated from the nature.
      The same happens nowadays in urban environments, when people want to spend their money on entertainment more than on family, and the birthrates drop. This time not inbreeding (much), but alienating from the natural by escapism. Going home from the bars when the sun is rising, sleeping the time when the sun is up, and waking up for br- late lunch. After eating, taking a shower, plus watching telly 2-3 hrs, - out at the sunset. So they can start the next night at the pub. Naturally? Show must go on, does anybody know what are we living for... ?
      I don't need the nobility especially as a target: the thing is they used to think they are better than the commoners - which made them isolate and hurt themsleves genetically. The same can happen for other reasons than self-chosen isolation - these people can't help it.
      But those who choose it, be they a cult, nobles or other isolationists, do it for themselves. If they also think they are better than others, oh how great is the irony. Like I said, i's more horrifying, chilling than ridiculous - to that element is there too, when someone lifts his, her nose up when seeing 'the lessers'.
      The point wasn't contemporary or historical practices - but studying how people end up in that. And another theme was how our pride twists our perception of reality - how it alienates us. Thinking we get wise, we actually get more stuopif, if we congratulate ourselves for our wisdom.

The outskirts of the Roman empire were generally only garisoned enough to maintain a military presence, work alliances with the local elites, keep trade open, and get the locals to extract resources for them. They would have been a small portion of the population. In contrast, the Anglo-Saxons invasions included waves of their own people whose population was to big for the resources offered in their original homelands.

    Watching the Maaterpiece show Victoria made me interested in learning more about European royalty. I became so curious about what ethnicity royals actually were/are since they all seem to just marry each other! Like you said, Prince Philip isn’t actually Greek it Danish, he’s more likely ethnically German, because the kingdoms are intermarry. Location does not mean ethnicity or race.
    Queen Victoria’s many children all ended up marrying different royal families all over Europe. Queen Victoria herself as we know was German on her mother’s side, and then she married her German first cousin. So her kids had a lot of German in them.
    King George III, Victoria’s grandfather married Charlotte of Portugal, who is rumored to have been of African decent, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Queen Elizabeth’s DNA read trace amounts of African ancestry.

    • @trobairitz8654

      Actually no. Queen Victoria's children didnt marry different royal families all over Europe. In fact most married other german minor princes and princesses, except for Edward who married a Danish princess (who was, like Prince Philip, of predominantly german ancestry) and Louise who married and English nobleman, duke of Argyll. King George iii did not marry a "Charlotte of Portugal". He married princess Charlotte of mecklenburg-strelitz, who was part of a noble German family, whose ancestry was filled with countless of white europeans. She wasnt biracial or black.

Or that the French and German category peaks around the Rhine, Belgium and Switzerland, rather that the hearts of either country, showing a possible connection to the ancient Hallstatt or La Tène celts of Central Europe, who were thought to have spread northwest using the Rhine before being taken over by germanic and Latin speaking peoples
