Haemophilia in European Royalty - Chronological Order

Chronological Order

Queen Victoria died in 1901 so she lived to see a son and, possibly, a grandson die from the disease. A great-grandson was diagnosed with the disease as well. There is no sign of the disease into later generations, but it has been known to skip several generations.

Famous quotes containing the word order:

    Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
