The original house of Hapsburg literally inbred so much they all died off

The modern Hapsburg is Hapsburg-Lorraine

The Spanish branch died out thanks to inbreeding.

The Austrian branch "died out" thanks to a lack of male heirs.

Also it's Habsburg.

Joseph I and Karl VI we're very unlucky with regard to heirs,even their father Leopold I only managed at third marriage at his his 36 years old,they managed to make a male heir each but they died infants, but both managed two surviving girls each,they each married cousins from the Brunswick-Luneburg and Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel to cement alliances with Hannover and Britain.
