All About Hemophilia, The Royal Blood Disease

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
For centuries, hemophilia was a dangerous genetic disorder with no treatment. Children with hemophilia often didn't make it to adulthood, since a bump or fall could cause massive internal bleeding. But why was hemophilia known as the royal disease? In the 19th century, royal intermarriage meant Europe's royal families shared a small gene pool. And Queen Victoria, the product of generations of cousin marriages, carried a rare genetic mutation that caused hemophilia. She passed it on to three of her children who went on to marry other royal families and spread the disorder

Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia thru her mother, Marie Victoria (b. 17 Aug 1786, d. 16 March 1861. Queen Victoria came from her moms 2nd marriage to Prince Edward, 4th son of King George III.
Marie Victorias 1st marriage ( with Carl Friedrick Wilhelm) produced two children, the oldest daughter, Anna Feodora, was also a carrier, who passed it down thru her daughter Adelheid of Hohenzollern-Langenburg. Maries Victoria son, Carl - (3rd Prince of Leningen & 1/2 brother to Queen Victoria of England) died of hemophilia.
Adelheid, daughter of Anna Feodora and niece to Queen Victoria of England, was also a carrier. 2 of 3 of Adelheids sons died very early in life: Friedrich b 1857 lasted 14 months, and Gerard b. 1862 lasted 2 months.
Going back up the line to Queen Victorias maternal g-mom, Augusta of Reuss, mother to Marie Victoria (b. 1786, Augusta was also a carrier.
Augusta married Franz Fredrick Anton and they had 10 kids: 5 boys and 5 girls.
Of Augusta and Franz Fredrick Anton children: Sadly, 2 of the 5 boys died very early. (1st boy died 1782, 2 boy: Franz Maximilan (b. 1792.
Of Augusta and Franzs five girls, 3 appear to be carriers of hemophilia: 1. Sophie Fredericka (b. 1778) lost 1 son at 17 yrs, 2. Antonieta Ernestine (b. 1779) also 2 of 4 sons, one at 4 yrs and one at 14 yrs. The 3rd girl. Marie Victoria (b. 1786) - Queen Victoria of Englands mom. The other 2 daughters of Augusta: Juliane Henrietta (b. 1781) had 2 kids but unknown medical. The 5th daughter of Augusta, Marianne Charlotte (b. 1788) only lived to be 6 yrs old, unknown medical.
Augustas mother was the Hemophilia Carrier. Her name was Karoline Ernestine von Erbach-Schoenberg (b 1727, d. 1796) Karoline is the maternal great-grandmom of Queen Victoria of England.
Karoline Ernestine had 2 of 3 sons die from most likely from hemophilia: Henrich VLVI (b. 1755) only lived 2 yrs and another brother also named Henrich (Henrich LIII, b. 1765, died at 5 yrs old. Only one of Augusta & Henriettas brothers lived to be an adult: Heinrich LI.
Karoline Ernestine had at least 1 other daughter who was a hemophilia carrier besides Augusta, that was Henriette b. 1767. Henriettas only child, Prince Friedrich died at 6 yrs old ).
Henrietta was the first wife of Prince Erich Carl (b. 1763) their only child a son would only live to. 6 yrs old, then she died and Prince Erich Carl married Marie Victoria (becoming her 1st husband and father to Carl & Anna Fedora, the 1/2 siblings of Queen Victoria.
Point is there are many more cases going up thru Queen Victorias mothers maternal line to show that other branches of hemophilia carriers.

Great vldeo as always! I am colorblind. It follows the pattern, but it is not leathal. Lol! When it comes to the Norwegian royals of 1905, they were imported from Denmark after a referendum to deside if Norway should become a republic or kingdom. The people of Norway voted to become a kingdom. We had been under Danish rule, from 1319 or there about to 1814. It was named the 500 yrs long night. Then we were under the swedes from 1814-1905. The person the swedes found to take over the dobble crown was a french general Bernadotte. He was Napoleon go to general. He never took off his shirt when the doc came on a castle call After his death they found out that he had a huge tattoo on his chest that red: Death to Royals! The main street of Oslo is named after him, Karl Johan. Now you know!

Sadly mine does and I have to have medical treatment for it, my grandmother had hemophilia and I have Factor V Leiden which creates clots and all from inbreeding since 785 Ad on only one marriage was not a cousin but I am related to many Royal German families even Marquart has a town in Bavaria named Marquartstein where the first count Marquart established it in the 1075 also related to the Wittelsbachs and Hohenzollern, but all these marriages betwixt cousins has made me so Ill I am forever at the hospital and have nearly died numerous times, all I have to say is please Royal's stop marrying your cousin's you will end up with more and more children suffering like myself and my grandmother!

Waldemar's mother was Irene, sister of the last Tsarina. The other sister, Victoria, mother of Mountbatten and grandmother of Prince Philip, was now known to have also been a carrier. Her grandson Kraft, had clotting issues and his grandson Felix has haemophilia. Also, the great grandson of Ena of Spain, Paul Weiller, died of un problems de sangra The disease is still there The female line descendants of Beatrice and Leopold are vulnerable as they may carry the disease unnoticed down the generations. Also check out Queen Victoria's maternal ancestors. large numbers of little boys dying in infancy. even in the days when children died in large numbers, the male mortality is high.

MALES CAN PASS HEMOPHILIA TOO! A father who has hemophilia passes his only X chromosome down to all of his daughters, so they will always get his hemophilia allele and be heterozygous (carriers, thet don't have the disease. He just can't pass to his sons as he passes down the Y chromosome. And in cases of hemophilia B as it is pretty severy most of the males affected by it never reached the age to have children in those times, so the most common case was the mother passing the disease to their children as woman are mostly carriers of the disease

Frittie was running towards his brother Ernest and tripped, they had been playing tag. His brother blamed himself for the rest if his life. A great grandson of Prince Philip's sister, Felix Soltmann, has haemophilia. Intermarriage did NOT cause the disease. Its origins are found in Victoria's maternal ancestors - large numbers of boys dying inexplicably in infancy, just when they start to walk. Valdemar was NOT a carrier, men cannot carry the disease, only suffer, as they have only one X chromosome. Sloppy reporting.

I have to say I didn't enjoy the way this video constantly blames unaware parents for genetic disorders. No mother would want to pass on any medical issue to their child, let alone a deadly one. I found the video crude and insensitive. Even if the were royals with their inbreeding traditions, they didn't have the information and awareness we have today and they were still mothers, who saw their children dying. Big negative for this video
reply

There's actually a conspiracy theory (dunno when this came from) saying that Victoria was actually illegitimate because AFTER Victoria there's hemophilia in the family, BUT nothing BEFORE her. In other words (to the best of my knowledge) there's no history of it in her family, just when she was born & after
reply

Oh dear really Prince leopold was Prince Albert's child he was queen Victoria's husband. king leopold was the Belgium king an had absolutely nothing to to with Prince leopold. other than maybe a name sake. if you going to make a video learn the history!
reply

Poor people married theor own cousins, siblings and even children all the time. The reason we heard about hemaphilia in royals and almost nobody else is because their babies who suffered with it didn't get medical care and would have died.
reply

Many JEWISH families STILL practice close inbreeding, in order to keep their wealth within the family.
I don't know if any maladies are carried through those incestuous marriages, but it does seem likely.

reply

It's gross - good luck whenever you start genealogy and try to built a large family tree. Marrying cousins was so common until around the 19th century, you will most likely find some gross surprises.
reply

Wow, its not like Vicky CHOSE to pass on the diseases to her children. It was unknowingly passed on to her by her parents just like she unknowingly passed it on to her children.
reply

Imagine being that greedy where you just want the wealth ALL TO YOURSELVES. nasty. When mostly all that wealth was stolen anyways or came from forced labor (slavery.
reply

Informative despite the callousness of the demeaning, unempathetic and snarky narrator.
As if ANYONE, royal or not would smite future generations on purpose.

reply

I have the opposite - I clot too easily too easily so I have to take blood thinners which effectively make me hemophiliac. Oh what medical adventures I have had.
reply

Can you imagine marrying your relatives because you think youre better then anyone but a Royal? This is why we should continue to learn from the past.
reply

Just curious what Hallmark thinks about Mehgan and William. Royals do marry outside(extremely rare as we know. Anyway, pretty sarcastic video. I liked it! Lol
reply

He died from a rather pedestrian fall - didnt make sense with my knowledge of pedestrian, so I verified the definition. Still makes absolutely no sense.
reply

Leopold was the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The one depicted here is King Leopold II of Belgium, which indeed was their cousin.
