Andreas Palaiologos was the last Byzantine pretender. He sold his claims to Isabella and Ferdinand.
Does this mean the current Spanish monarch has a claim on Constantinople?

The current spanish monarch is a Bourbon.

Isabella and Ferdinand weren't even Assburgs.

No, that was Constantine, the last Emperor. Andreas was his nephew, who possesed nothing but the family name and claimed to be the rightful heir of the now non-existant empire.

I honestly prefer the way women dressed back then over how they dress today.
I also like how they kept their legs closed before marriage.

>I also like how they kept their legs closed before marriage.
Except they didn't.
Why didn't Charles V do like Justinian and tried to conquer the other half of the Roman Empire? If the Holy Roman Emperor reconquered the lands that were Eastern Rome wouldn't his dynasty become even stronger?
>>459678
he lost but that's irrelevant as a dinasty being weak or strong as nothing to do with the ability to conquer
>>459678
He was too busy with the rest of Europe freaking the hell out at the thought of about half of Europe being nominally under the rulership of a single person.

Last statistic I saw for premarital pregnancy for fucking Puritan society was 25%. Yes, nobles were kept virgins, but the peasants did what humans have loved to do for thousands of years: fuck.
In fact, people are having less sex now than ever before. The teenage pregnancy and sex rate is at its lowest recorded spot.
>>459820
are you sure about those numbers? pregnancy makes sense but sex rate? how is that even measurable? i'm pretty sure it's way higher now anyway
>>459795
Aristocratic women had far more interaction and control over the household staff than their husbands did, especially over their personal attendants.
>>459434
did they show Muslims being cucked?
>>459559
>I also like how they kept their legs closed before marriage.
you can't be serious.
>>459840
Peasants boned all the time dude.
They had orgies during the Black Plague.
They had tons of prostitutes and brothels, more than they do now.
The only people who kept their legs closed were the nobles really.
>>459887
No but Isabel's half brother gets cucked in every episode.
>>459795
Confirmed virgin
If a woman wants some dick, she WILL get it
Even in the caliphate muslim women found ways of getting with their handsome slaves and fellow nobility
>>459903

totally forgot about that, yeah m8. thanks

And then in 1700 when Charles 2nd died, only very, very old ties with habsburgs made burbons little bit legitimate.
That crazy old woman who thinks(is she still alive?) she's a daughter of Nicolas II of Russia has more legit claim to Constantinople since her family still used some related title during Tzardom days.

It will always be Constantinople; the city was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and was christened by the Emperor himself. Squatting Turks won't change that fact.
