The Habsburg's Disastrous Dynasty

What do you get when you take the phrase "Keep it in the family" WAY too seriously? A family tree that forms a perfect circle! And there is no better example in history of the dangers of a bit of how's your father with someone a bit too closely related to your father than the Habsburg dynasty. Join Hayley this week as she takes us on a journey to Spain at the end of the 17th century, where Habsburg King Charles II spawned into the world with every debuff known to man and destroyed ay chance of his lineage carrying on the throne of Spain! Remember folks, if your family tree has a diagonal line in it then you've gone wrong somewhere and you might get a case of the infamous "Habsburg Jaw". This episode was presented by Hayley O'Connor and joined by Arron Keegan and Conor Daly. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
