Hemophilia

Excluding Queen Victoria's Family

Consider the other European families affected by the hemophilia gene.  If you were a member of one of these families, what would be some implications?

If hemophilia had been transmitted as a recessive trait, rather than an X-linked one, what would have been the implications for the European aristocracy?

Why are there so many more male than female hemophiliacs?
