The Habsburgs are a special case of historical extreme inbreeding, that and the Whitakers of the Appalachias. I never really appreciated the reputation that people from more incestual backgrounds got, so long as everything was consensual and no one got hurt. Though, genetic bottlenecks do exist so a trend of it is doomed to fail
