RANDOM HOARD POST

sweet estate sale find. HALF OFF DAY. $2.50. nobody seemed to notice it was a 1719 coin with a silver loop for a money belt. ugly king tho. an italian e-pal said he was i guess an austrian-hungarian ruler.

Comments:
Some historians suggest that a Hapsburg family resemblance could be seen in much of Continental royalty, the result of too much inbreeding.
You probably knew that.
 
there does seem to be quite a lot of close cousins. princess Di hopefully added something good to that gene pool.
heck, ferdinand and isabella of 'columbus' fame, were brother and sister! hopefully step siblings, but who knows. and their daughter was henry Viii's 1st wife. hapsburgs and bourbons and rothschilds. and who knows else i will find in my EBs.
