I recomend you to update your bibliography. In this particular case you just uncritically repeat the most boring und degradant recurrent topics of the spanish black legend, which are heavily contested by actual historians nowadays. If you consider as a retarded person a king (Carlos II) who spoke spanish, german, french and italian, who danced and rid horses every day, who was a competent player of clavichord, and a physically handicapped a man who scaped from the court to hunt wolfes, alone for five days in the mountains sourronding Madrid, in january, with the only company his montero mayor, perhaps you should review your prejudices against him.

This is all very interesting. Inter breeding among humans was much more with royals, however small groups of indigenous people around the world did the same at certain times in history. And check out some of the Biblical stories in the Old Testament lots went on in those days as well. Guess it really got bad into the 16th century and is one reason so many babies died.

It's a miracle that he lived for as long as he did. I don't understand why the royals kept marrying each other. How long did it take for them to realize that only the royal children were being born deformed and were suffering from serious health issues? There's no way they didn't notice it was only happening to them.

And they did not learn shit. Elizabeth and Philip were 3rd cousins. Diana was long distance cousins of Charles and infact Camilla is also related just at a further distance. They also said that Kate is also distant cousins to William. All royals are still related to this day.

I read his autopsy that he didn't have a brain and I thought they meant Charles II of England, and then I watched his whole documentary without realizing it just assuming that this main character didn't have a brain and it was honestly a really really good story

Some of the paintings you show in this video are of Charles I of England and his son the future Charles II of England. Also you showed Queen Henrietta Maria the wife of Charles I of England! You also had a painting of the court of King Charles II of England.

How funny. This girl I worked with in Chicago was Holly, particularly ugly with a jutting lower jaw, which she crowed about as a Hapsburg jaw. It turns out the Hapsburg jutting jaw is a deformity caused by inbreeding of the Hapsburg kings.

From all the disfigurations he had I was most horrified at the testicle as black as coal report even if it was exaggerated.
The first thought I had was that it would either be hard as rock or as squishy as slime putty.

You do know that you sometimes you show Charles the first of England instead of Charles the second of Spain. The little boy with the wand and the dragon/snake thing is Charles the first of England.

His grandmother was also his aunt. Really, how is this even possible? I don't think it is, because your aunt is just one generation away, and your grandmother two. Can someone explain, please?

Charles II was, essentially, cursed as his nickname, El hechizado (the bewitched, had it but it was his family that condemned him to such a miserable life with so much pain.

Fun fact: Charles II's last recorded words were no soy nada, or I am nothing in english, imagine being the king of one of the most powerful empires and feeling like this.

It's Charles V and he was never called King. It was always Emperor. Charles II was king of England. Even though this is chewing gum for the mind, please try to do better.

That war cost the lives of thousands of horses may I suppose. You can't blame royalty; back then no one knew of inherited genetic disorders.
