Joseph, also known as Infante Jose Fernando of Spain, was a result of extreme [[inbreeding]] within [[Spanish Habsburg]] dynasty. Joseph Ferdinand's mother's (Margaret of Austria) immediate pedigree was exceptionally loaded with nieces giving birth to children of their uncles: Margaret was daughter of [[Margarita of Spain]] and [[Emperor Leopold I]], the elder Margarita being Leopold's niece, being daughter of Maria Anna of Austria and [[Philip IV of Spain]], that Maria Anna (younger Margaret's aunt and grandmother) being Philip's niece -Maria Anna was being daughter of [[Maria Ana of Spain]] (1606-46) and [[Emperor Ferdinand III]], who were Leopold's parents too. Thus, Empress Maria Anna was simultaneously elder Margarita's aunt and grandmother. |

Joseph Ferdinand's great-uncle was the so-called Bewitched [[Charles II of Spain]], who was the degenerated last Habsburg monarch of Spain, whom Joseph was destined to succeed. |
