“…Last but not least, it is important that the data presented in previous publications dealing with the relationship between skeletal morphology and biological relatedness of the personalities mentioned here (Cvrček, Dobisíková, Jor, et al, 2021; Cvrček, Velemínský, Dupej, et al, 2021; Cvrček, Velemínský, Jor, et al, 2021) have been refined, and that the results of these studies are not in any way challenged by the new discoveries presented in this work in terms of the methods used and the interpretation of the previous results (e.g., the calculation of coefficients of relationships between individuals).…”

Research into the family of the Counts Swéerts‐Sporck raised doubts regarding their biographical data, particularly concerning a child who died in 1817, later identified as Philipp Swéerts‐Sporck, and his siblings Joseph and Barbara. These were alleged to include a pair of dizygotic twins, but DNA could not be used to clarify their relationships. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes were therefore measured in their first permanent molars, whereas Philipp's biological age was estimated based on his skeleton. Philipp died at an older age than the written sources claim; an isotopic similarity was found between Joseph and Barbara, but Philipp differed.

“…In individual No. 2, Eleonora Maria Catharine, Countess Sporck née Fineck (February 10, 1639-September 3, 1674), only the skull could be examined, and it could not therefore be included in the study (Cvrček, Velemínský, Dupej, et al, 2021).…”
