Скачать или смотреть The Habsburg Jaw: Marriage, Power, and the Curse That Ended a Dynasty

📝 Description
Among Europe’s countless royal portraits, one feature stands out:
the unusually prominent lower jaw, known as the “Habsburg Jaw.”

This was not just a genetic quirk.
It was the Habsburg dynasty’s greatest “secret weapon”—a strategy of dynastic marriages that allowed them to rule Europe without war.
Yet, it also became their “curse,” leading to centuries of inbreeding and ultimately, their downfall.

From the Holy Roman Empire to Spain and even the Americas, the Habsburgs built an empire where the sun never set.
But the price of power was devastating.
The last Spanish Habsburg king, Charles II, died without an heir—crippled by the very bloodline that had once secured his family’s dominance.

👉 This is the 600-year history of the dynasty that conquered Europe not with swords, but with marriages—only to crumble because of them.
