Franz Josef wasn't the most inbred of the Habsburgs - apparently Charles II of Spain wasn't even the most inbred of the Habsburgs.

However, I find how quickly the conversation has turned to inbred Habsburgs to be very encouraging. There is much hope for this community yet.

I think a good benchmark for numismatic communities should be how quickly a conversation about Austrian coinage turns into running jokes about inbreeding.
