Hrolf Kraki, the dark ages Danish king was the son of an unwitting union between his father and his father’s daughter.
He was a legendary king for his wisdom, virtue and courage.

“Wonder which states still require a blood test before marriage?”
Those early blood tests were to determine if either had syphillus....nothing more.
Genetic tests would be pretty expensive...but may become necessary someday.

“There’s nothing in the Bible about not marrying your cousin, yet we have a taboo against that. So it’s not all from the Bible.”
After 1,400 years of first cousin incest, Muslims have accumulated a range of genetic deficits due to inbreeding. ‘Course, they were not much to start with.

first cousin is bad enough
but sister and brother is horrific
they have the same dad, they are bro and sis

Hrolf had his name spelled in a variety of ways, depending on whether you were a Dane, a Geat/Goth or one of the other traditions that mention him.

The Catholic church used to warn people not to have relations with prostitutes, because children were often adopted out or given away and so lost tract of, so you might inadvertently have relations with your near relative.
Some of that is echoed in a few of the Grimm fairy tales.

Bear in mind that Abraham and Sarah were brother and sister.

I don’t think they were incestuous so much as they had a different (narrower) definition of incest.

The bible permits, perhaps even encourages such a marriage. Abraham was not condemned for his marriage by G-d, so far as the Bible records. Rather, he was rewarded and his progeny became a great nation.

Just because they did stuff in the Bible, doesn’t mean God endorsed it. Nobody mentioned in the old testament, even the prophets, were anything other than sinners as we all are. God even punished a lot of the old testament prophets.

Sure. So the examples of patriarchs are not for us to follow.
Right. I will note that.
