Is it true that English royal families use incest to make the entire family have the same blood?

Please tell me not all of the Royal families did that. And also, the ones that did, how did they do it? Did they make siblings marry and stuff like that?Is it true that English royal families use incest to make the entire family have the same blood?
In ancient Egypt, kings tended to marry their sisters, though they married many other women as well.





In England, or in Europe generally, it has never been the custom for kings to marry their sisters. however, since royal families have always intermarried with each other, when a member of one royal family marries another, there is usually some relationship if you go back far enough. And some members of the royal family have married first cousins (Queen Victoria married her cousin Albert for instance). Marriage between first cousins was not considered incestuous in the 19th century and was, and for all I know still is, perfectly legal here.





And with reference to one of the comments above, the marriage of Edward VIII to Mrs Simpson was not disapproved of because she was a commoner, but because she was a divorcee.





All royal families are a mixture of different nationalities, since royalty usually intermarries with members of other royal families.Is it true that English royal families use incest to make the entire family have the same blood?
Royal intermarriage is the practice of members of royal families marrying into other royal families. It was more commonly done in the past for reasons of state and in order to maintain the purity of bloodlines. Historically, royal marriages often sealed alliances or pacts, and were instrumental in many countries' diplomatic relations. Over many generations, intermarriage between royals came to a point where most royals became related to all other royals.





Go to the source for some examples, types, and family tree diagrams.
no, no family used incest to have the same blood. The families thought they were above everyone else and therefore they had to marry and bear children with the best. After a few years, this led to incest, though not on purpose.


Becasue all royal families belive they have been ordained by God to rule that country because they were born into the rowal family, and not some other family. Thereore, they can not soil the gift God gave them by marrying into un-pure families
It isn't just the English royal family. All of the royal families of Europe married and intermarried. They wanted to keep the ruling class bloodlines clean, and only ended up inbreeding with one another so much that it made them weak and sickly. Marrying a commoner was, and still is, looked down on by most royals. Look at what a scandal was caused when King Edward VIII abdicated his throne to be with Wallis Simpson and eventually marry her. Even Princess Diana was related to the royal family before her marriage to Prince Charles. Look up their genealogy on Google or somewhere.
No,it isn't true;you must be confused with the ancient EGYPTIAN pharaohnic families that did marry brother to sister in order to keep the blood line in the family.The English royals sometimes had instances where cousins marry cousins-Elizabeth II is a THIRD cousin to Philip,but couples were usually matched to other families who were royal,rich and powerful when prearranged marriages were the norm,and it wasn't necessary for there to be a blood relation.
As was noted earlier brother sister marriages have always been taboo in Europe. In some cases uncle-niece marriages have been considered in Britain, but none have actually occurred to my knowledge. There were several in Spain in the Hapsburg dynasty.

First cousin marriages are still fairly common around the world, an over half the married Pakistani community in Britain is in a first cousin marriage. Much of the western world considers first cousin marriages taboo, and it is illegal in some US states, but not in Britain.

Queen Victoria was married to her first cousin, Albert. She started the most famous genetic disease in European royalty, hemophelia. However, the fact that she was married to her first cousin had nothing to do with the disease.


------


Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are 2nd cousins once removed by one bloodline, and 3rd cousins by another bloodline. Prince Charles proposed to his 2nd cousin and was rejected before he proposed to Diana. Charles and Diana were 11th cousins once removed. Actually many marriages are closer than that, but most people can't trace their bloodlines to 11th cousins.

The royals are not really inbred (which is just an insult). In many ways they probably have bloodlines which are more diverse than typical for a British family. For instance, Elizabeth has a Transylvanian countess as a great, great grandmother. Her bloodline can be traced back to the brother and father of Dracula. Talk about diversity.

Not really - it is true of some families like the Hapsburgs, who developed congenital deformities (The Hapsburg Lip) as a result. England's monarch is pretty much half German and the children half Greek, that there is not much English blood in them.
And they told me I couldn't marry my sister in West Virginia.


I knew they were lying.
uhhhh... lol. That's not true.... not ALL royal families...
Yes it is true. They aren't very bright and want to keep their bloodline that way.
