Endogamy in the British monarchy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Endogamy in the British monarchy
The British royal cousin marriages are considered an example of endogamy, or the practice of marrying within a specific class and social group, often for financial gain or influence in affairs of state. The handful of first-cousin marriages was not out of the norm for their time. == Unknown family relationship ==
After the 11th century, in only two cases (those of the first wife of James II and of Edward VIII) is there no known familial relationship. Neither woman was queen consort (one died before her husband became king, and the other married after he abdicated). Both marriages were considered scandalous for their time. The first wife of James II was the only daughter of a wealthy man, but with no pedigree. The marriage did produce two future sovereign queens. Edward VIII married Wallis Simpson, and cited his desire to marry the twice divorced American woman as the reason for his abdication in 1936.
