The Hapsburgs who counted, the Spanish and Austrian Hapsburgs, all died of inbreeding. The guys who call themselves Hapsburgs today are some distantly related house that changed their name to Hapsburg in the late 18th century, after everyone died who would have cared.

Nope the Spanish branch died because of inbredding. The last 'real' Austrian Habsburg Emperor didn't had a son so he rewrote the law so is daughter Maria Theresia could take over. She married some dude and added his name to the Habsburg Name. The new line was Habsburg-Lorraine.

Ed. All the Habsburg still living are direct descende from her. Also the famous Marie Antoniett was one of her daughters

I don't understand this analogy at all.

The point i wanted to make is that calling them only a 'distantly related' house is just wrong.
