Genetic map of the Habsburg Jaw

The jaw, as seen in Rudolph II -
And the genetic map of the trait -
Interesting how it becomes more common as the generations continue to inbreed.  More details in this prior post.

    Shouldn't you write "Habsburg" if you refer to the Habsburgh family?

    Cousins who married first cousins.

    The marriage of aunts and nephews.

    And the marriage of uncles and nieces.

    Papal dispensation is required for marriages within the fourth degree.

    I doubt the Babenburgs would have approved.

    The Habsburg marriages demonstrate the desire to retain money and power over the desire for healthy progeny.
