Interbreeding can cause a whole host of issues (like hemophilia in the European royalty of the middle ages) Basically when you are wading in a shallow gene pool, all the defects / submissive traits in the dna strand can come to the surface. It doesn't weaken the whole species, until they start breeeding with the wider population again, and these (1 in a hundred billion) defects become (1 in 1000) defects.
As for the thread concept in general. They were married at 35 / 65, but there is no way of nowing when the "relations" actually began. Take your pick 10/40, 15/45, 20/50... They are all still disturbing. Even though it was fine for the Royals to marry cousins, nices, etc..., I just can't see it...
