The Spanish King Phillip I of Castile, father of Charles V was Half-Burgundian and inherited Burgundy via his mother.
Charles V was thus Quarter-Castillian, Quarter-Aragonese, Quarter-Burgundian and Quarter-Austrian. It's very odd that such a mutt had a lineage that ended because of inbreeding.

Charles the Bold married his first cousin? EW

At least the French had the good sense to stop using them.

First cousin is pretty tame. There are people from Spanish Habsburgs that married their nieces, which was the child of two of their cousins.

Mostly to keep the power within the family but also because they didn't have any opportunities of suitable power to marry outside of the family.
Basically You can't marry your daughters off to foreign husbands because then those husbands might end up inheriting parts of your realm. Also when you are at such a position you are the leading family of Europe you can't marry with lesser nobility that aren't direct rulers of a realm, it is not prestigious and it's insulting. Austrian Habsburgs were better in that regard because they did have families to marry within HRE that were sufficiently prestigious and ruling families of countries so they kept the genepool large enough to not lead to severely retarded children, while for Spain they didn't have any options and just kept marrying cousins to nieces.

Gypsies are so dumb they have to steal their flags from African countries.

John the Fearless is quite possibly the most-faggot-looking man in history.
