An interesting riddle for those curious to know about consanguinity in 15th century. 🙃 The GRACE project is also involved in creating awareness about genetics and genetic conditions in families with consanguineous marriages in the UK.
Consanguity riddle from the 15th century: A count had twelve knights, all of whom had the same mother – four were his sons, four his brothers-in-law and four his sons-in-law. How could this be possible? Use these handy figures to work it out.
